Shoot the Food 2020
What have we created: the secret life of sugar
This photo represents the chaos of processed foods. We see packaged ramen smeared with food coloring and whipped cream, with the color of the blue food coloring fading through the whipped cream. The pieces are thrown randomly on the ground, and the light is even and almost artificial.
This photo once again utilizes a reflector to highlight the contrast between human features and the artificiality of the froot loops. The subject seems to almost be in a daze as the cereal showers over them from above, into their mouth, almost unwillingly. This photo is meant to explore the apathy we apply to what we put inside our bodies in the 20th century.
The blue-favoring saturation of this image is meant to give the sense that the subject is underwater. With the froot loops and nerds scattered through the dark hair, the subject seems almost otherworldly, especially with the closed eyes and neutral expression. Perhaps the subject has yielded to the power and influence of the sugar coursing through her veins, or maybe she is just lulled into sleep by the temporary pleasure it affords.
