Whimsical Food Photography

Sarah Illenberger Captures Food as Familiar Objects

German artist Sarah Illenberger has a series of posters dedicated to making food appear as recognizable objects.

Illenberger chooses familiar motifs and objects, and recreates them using fruits and vegetables. The result is a visually colorful display of images that's creative and fun to look at. Transforming a watermelon into a cloud raining seeds and a tomato into a grenade, this simplistic approach truly says that less is more.
