Balanced Food Photography

Ricettario by Karsten Wegenerto Precariously Arranges Delicious Dishes

Ricettario by Karsten Wegenerto is a photo series interpreting the benefits of a balanced diet. Yet similar to the 'Perfect Pairings,' '200 Calories' and 'Burning Calories' series, the images take a more literal stance when it comes to these common concepts. In this case, the dishes have been arranged precariously to better depict the idea of balance.

Styled by Elena Mora, Ricettario by Karsten Wegenerto revolves around four different dishes: Pizza Margherita, Apple Cake, Minestrone and Salmon. In the Pizza Margherita image, a wooden spoon with filled glasses atop it is balanced on a mountain of flour and artfully surrounded by a table, fork, book and photograph. A splendid series, it takes food photography and still life to another level.
