We've all heard of life imitating art, but what does art imitate? In Carl Warner's mind, it's food. The British photographer uses edible goods to depict surreal landscapes. Once exposed to his scenes, viewers will look at their plates in an entirely different light.
To accomplish such a complicated photo, Warner begins with a traditional sketch. He then chooses his food carefully, and then builds the scene in parts, which are then photographed. This is so the food does not discolor or wilt under the lights as the rest of the landscape is under construction.
Each photograph takes days to finish. Recurring subjects include broccoli trees, potato-rock hills, cheese houses and bread-loaf mountains. In "Salmon Sea," pictured above, a pea-pod boat floats in a salmon sea (duh), which appears to ripple against a sugary beach.
