The Art of Food

My passion is food and I love photography, so I’ve combined them. I think food can be a work of art which plays with colour, shape and light; and involves all five senses.

I’ve recycled a discarded umbrella to create a mobile frame from which I’ve hung 100 photographs of meals I’ve shared with friends and family. All my photos are taken as the dish is served, with whatever light is available.

Visit the State Library of NSW to watch it rotate in motion, and tantalize your appetite!

Many of the photos are my food favourites including:

• Bourke Street Bakery - Rhubarb Tart (Surry Hills)

• Busshari's - Kingfish Carpaccio (Potts Point)

• Muoi’s Feast - My Way Oysters (Byron Bay)

• La Renaissance - Mixed berry tart (The Rocks)
• Taste - Classic Vietnamese pork baguette (Surry Hills)
• Mamak - Roti canai (Haymarket)
• Shanghai night - Pork dumpling (Ashfield)
• Thanh Binh - Green papaya salad (Newtown)
• Jasmin - Falafel (Punchbowl)
