EYE CANDY

Every time I'm in my kitchen, I always feel the needs to search for products that are worth photographing. I love playing around with my food and camera as it's such a relaxing hobby!

Food seems always to be beautiful when it is seen through the LCD screen of your camera. It is as if the act of taking the picture of a simple food item sublimates it and makes it look ever so wonderful.

In fact, I think that the mere act of taking the time to look at certain staple
s from a different angle, makes us see them under a totally different light. We seem to rediscover them and find a hidden beauty in them all. Even the most aesthtetically "uninteresting" ones become graceful and have the potential to make us discover their unforeseen magnificence and enjoy them to the fullest...

  7. I didn´t think there was such a word as "Eye Candy" in English.

    (Je n'ai pas pensé qu'il y avait un mot tel que la "Sucrerie d'oeil" en anglais).

    Now I know there is. Your pictures are "Ögongodis" (Swedish)

  8. You're absolutely right, peering through a camera lens completely transforms the way you look at something. Just the other day I became completely obsessed with grape stems, I just kept taking photos and taking photos.... I think my husband thought I'd gone a little nuts. :)
