Industrial Portraits By Nubret Pascale
























Although the film and advertising use today greatly digitized special effects and retouching photos, acquainting many of us to the "new images", the art of design tables with photographs compositing retouched and / or 3D is still unknown.

Yet, far from competing, it naturally finds its place between his two sisters that are famous painting and photography.

Linked to the latest technologies, it is experiencing a meteoric rise, sublimating a new approach to the world and men without breaking the artistic trend continues allegories charts after time immemorial.

The drawing, painting and photography more recently have experienced at various times acceleration both in their styles and in their performances, phenomena related to the vision of artists, history and patronage.

The art of the production of "stills" today is experiencing a boom again: digital images. An additional window opens on human feelings .

Discovered digital imaging in 1993.

Inspired by some painters: Jerome and his BOSCH bestiary at the height of religious painting, and portraits ARCIMBOLDO diverted impregnated with a striking humanity, and Salvador Dali MAGRITTE conceptions if surrealists opposed.

Determine in advance the final size of my productions, working always in very high resolutions for the sake of quality.

The technique, subtle arrangement of digital photographs of models and universe from 3D designs, leaves no trace on the surface, no comparison with painting or quilting photography.

The Amazing Foodscapes by Carl Warner

Photographer Carl Warner painstakingly captures all forms of food in a series of still life's with edible ingredients he raided from his kitchen cupboards to design a series of dreamy landscapes and homey domestic scenes that appear scrumptiously good enough to eat.

1. Salmon SeasTake a close look at this dusk scene and you'll discover it's good enough to eat -- the pebbles and rocks are potatoes and soda bread, while the red sky at night and sea are entirely formed of strips of salmon.

2. Italian Home
An Italian style home made just from vegetables and fruits.

3. Bread MountainLoaves of bread as mountains.

4. Fruity Balloons
The trees, of course, are made from broccolis! The "rows" of farmland are made of corn, asparagus, and zucchini. Potatoes stand in for rocks.

5. Cheesy Tuscan VillaThe castle is made out of cheese, the walls out of rice, and the wagon wheels out of mushrooms!

6. Vege CaveA sea cave made of bread, carrots crabs and a lobster.

7. Vegetable MarketThis Italian inspired rural scene includes a lasagna cart, fields of pasta, a pine nut wall, mozzarella clouds, trees of peppers and chilies and a parmesan village.

8. A Forest of GreensA landscape made of bread and broccoli cabbage.

9. Sea CliffA sea cliff made of Parmigiano cheese, potatoes and cabbage.

10. Stormy SeaA boat made of watermelon, peas, olives and asparagus plough trough a stormy seas made of radicchio salad.

11. Mountain LandscapesMountain landscapes below, relized with ham, salami and other cold cuts which had been used for an ad campaign by the Italian brand Negroni.

And finally Carl Warner himself interviewed in the "Richard & Judy" TV show on 14th January 2008:


The resourceful and ingenious series requires numerous shots -- Carl first sketches out a traditional landscape scene before introducing the food. Each scene is then captured in separate layers to prevent the food from wilting. He then uses computer technology to combine them into a single final print.

To give a realistic 3-D feel to the photos, each still life is composed on an 8 foot by 4 foot table. The foreground is only about 2 feet across.

The artist from Tonbridge, Kent creates amazing panoramas, including a broccoli forest, bread mountains, a cheese village, and smoked salmon seas. "I like the way smaller aspects of nature resembled larger ones." says Warner.

The success of the project has motivated Warner to plan for the images to be released in an educational book to encourage kids to eat healthier. He says his 'Foodscapes' were partly inspired by healthy eating campaigns, but they haven't persuaded his own children to take up the 5-a-day pledge. "But at least they don't play with their food as much as I do." said Carl.

Take a close look at this dusk scene and you'll discover it's good enough to eat -- the pebbles and rocks are potatoes and soda bread, while the red sky at night and sea are entirely formed of strips of salmon.
