DESCRIPTION
FOOD-iD by mxprivé
"The taste is in the foreground and the product is the star".
This is the credo of most (top) chefs.
FOOD-iD is my attempt to deal with this guiding principle from the point of view and with the means of a photographer.
The taste is not visible, so I focus on the colours and textures that give each product and the resulting dishes their own identity.
My work is very intuitive, so it just so happened that on the day of the shoot I was given a packet of black tissue paper (as packaging material).
The curved and crumpled structure, after spreading out the previously crumpled paper, reminded me of a volcanic crater and fitted perfectly with a handmade small bowl made of black volcanic clay.
The clay gives the bowl an extraordinary hardness as well as a unique character in texture and expression. I arranged everything in front of my kitchen window and took the picture there.
The resulting monochrome rush of colour and the play of daylight and texture of the background enhance the qualities of the food and set it off as the real star of the picture.
