The photographer, is known in his neighborhood
of Kent in England, as he spends hours in stores
looking for the best pieces of brocoli, peppers,
fruits etc. to compose the landscape scenes.
To achieve depth, To give a realistic
three-dimensional feel to the photographs, each
still life is composed on a table measuring 8ft
by 4ft. The foreground is only about 2ft across.
In addition, they are taken in stages so the
fresh foods do not get wilted or stale before the
photo is finished.

kids to eat their vegetables. At least I
cannot say that they enjoy eating fruits and
vegetables as much as I do, says Carl.
