Carl Warner Food scapes

I first came across Carl and his weird and wonderful food scapes whilst watching children's TV!!  My 2 daughters were as mesmerized as I was by his imagination and creativity and his incredible ability to take every day food stuffs and turn them into whole new worlds.  We've come across him several times since, and have recognised his work on adverts too, such as that for Hortex frozen food and for Betty Crocker.  He works with a team, shooting each element of the piece as he constructs it and then putting them together in post production so that he has better control over composition.  This link demonstrates that perfectly as he re-creates the London skyline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvjif49Ebfw
Type in his name on you tube and you will find several videos showing how, after much painstaking planning, he brings his creations to life.  Many of them show him munching his way through the landscape too!  He doesn't take himself too seriously, but clearly knows his foods!  Apparently he spends hours staring at vegetables and imagining what could be!!
What vision!  Think of these next time you sit in front of a plate full of food.  I know we're not supposed to play with it, but hey it looks like so much fun!
The first image here is his favourite, the rest are mine.
