Hedi Slimane shows that photography with food doesn't always have to be sultry and scandalous in his new set,, 'First Time.'
The set features young male model Alex sensually eating a slice of watermelon. The title of the set probably refers to this being Alex's first time with Hedi, or first time in a professional photo shoot.
The shoot took place in London in June 2009.
