I am not the biggest fan of food photography, perhaps because of all the culinary books I've seen and they tend to always look the same with some macros and depth of field. That said, there are some cases that the quality of the composition, colors and treatment really deserve some attention. That's the case of the project shared by Ayman Abbas titled Fresh Food Market.
The project is a collection of great photos of food shot from an aerial vantage point. The colors and composition are super sharp and so vivid it makes me hungry just thinking about the imagery. I'm really making a pointed effort to improve my photo skills so will have to try to shoot something edible leveraging this style pretty soon.
Two of my great passions in life are traveling and photography. I believe that traveling broadens one’s view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual.
Ayman specializes in creating large format and panoramic images from stitched mosaics of digital frames and scanned slides. Shooting with both 35mm film cameras, using fine-grained color slide film exclusively, and with digital DSLR, and Medium Format with Digital Back 50 MP, for more information about him check out http://aymanabbas.prosite.com/
