STACKED

  • Martin Lomas

I recently collaborated with the incredible Food Stylist Jess McIntosh where we stacked food higher and higher. Making these stacked sculptural photographs is no mean feat. Careful balancing, clever styling tricks and a calm and steady hand makes these precarious stacks hold together with just enough time to get the picture. (I’d be lying if I said that the cheese one didn’t fall apart more than once…. but we persevered!) I love these types of images because they show food in a totally different light. Playful and fun whilst altering your POV, they give the viewer a chance to peek into a moment frozen in time - a drip of honey, a lingering ember or the tiniest grain of icing sugar falling from the sky.
