This artist is amazing with food, taking close up shots with a lot of her work. She also takes food and presents it in weird ways.

The image I saw was one of desert, and the consistency you see throughout the photo is unbelievable.

I'm interested in this because 1- food, and 2- the job isn't too bad for pay.

For my project, i'm going to take pictures of blank items and products on white background to leave the imagination to the audience. Empty boxes and a plastic container.
