This is just a rough draft of a project I’m working on for a class. I plan to shoot 15 or so organic foods (primarily fruits and vegetables) in this exact manner. The goal is to shoot them so they appear to be more like a two-dimensional surface rather to highlight their symmetrical and geometrical designs when cut in half. I plan on making a hardcover coffee table book out of these, accompanying text with the images with factoids (e.g. How many antioxidants are found within pomegranate, or something along those lines). I became interested in these foods when I had been diagnosed with cancer, thinking that how “perfect” the foods looked would somehow help me overcome my sickness when I ate them.
