About the Author
Carl Warner is a London-based photographer who works mainly in advertising. Over the past few years, he has been making landscapes out of food and photographing them; and he has been commissioned by many advertising agencies throughout Europe to produce custom pieces for clients in the food industry. He photographs his scenes in layers-from foreground to background and sky-as the process is so time consuming, the food quickly wilts under the lights. He then compiles the layers in post-production to achieve the final image. His "foodscapes" take up to three days to build and photograph and then a couple more days to retouch and fine-tune. The results, both edible and incredible, have brought him international acclaim.
