Carl Warner's Food Landscapes - Tapa dura

In recent years, Carl Warner's photographs have been unofficially circulating on the Internet and in mass e-mailings, to the pleasure of thousands upon thousands of viewers. Now, these images and many new ones are collected in one volume. In the spirit of Play with Your Food, Carl Warner's Food Landscapes is a colourful and fantastically imaginative collection of landscapes constructed entirely from fruits and vegetables, cheeses, breads, fish, meat and grains. The book offers a trip around the world in 25 international tableaux constructed from appropriate regional ingredients. Each photo is spectacular on its own, but the effort of constructing it is equally fascinating. Every image in the book is followed by an essay about the creative process and stories from the photo shoots, as well as behind-the-scenes material such as preliminary sketches, making-of photos, detail shots and a list of the ingredients and their position in the final picture.

Carl Warner, a professional still life photographer with a studio in London, has worked in the advertising industry for more than 20 years.
