From edible to incredible

Something I found on the BBC News website about a photographer Carl Warner who has painstakingly captured all kinds of food in a series of still lifes. Everything you see in the images can be found in the kitchen.


Edible ingredients in this Italian-inspired rural scene include a lasagne cart, fields of pasta, a pine nut wall, mozzarella clouds, trees of peppers and chillies and a parmesan village.


A winter landscape for carnivores - Parma ham and breadsticks are fashioned into a sled which is pulled across a snow-covered road made from a selection of cold meats.


The red sky at night in this landscape is actually made from salmon.

Sport in the 21st Century

This is a stunning set of photographs by photographers at Reuters. The photographs have been put together in a book, but are also on show as part of an exhibition outside City Hall in London. These photographs show the beautiful side of sport and celebrate sport. The exhibition features three themed sections that explore action photography, sports personalities and diversity of local sports around the world. The photos are really original, mostly due to the angle of the shot. I realise that as a keen sports enthusiast, this sort of thing would appeal to me but I also think it has the capabilities to attract a wider appeal as they are so different from other sports photography I have come across.

Rob O'Connor

This is the work of the creative director at Stylorouge. His main role within the company, other than that of creative director, is to do the photos shoots for the album covers and videos etc. I think his work is interesting because of his use of lighting, adding an exciting, intriguing and dynamic feel to the images. He uses lighting to dramatic effects. The example below shows how his photography was used for the album cover.
