Akiko Ida is a very talented Japanese artist that ran into his French love (and fellow artist) Javelle. They met while studying photography at the Paris “Arts Decoratifs†art school and have been in love with each other (and photography) ever since.
The gallery above features some of their photographs from their “Fruit and Vegetables†collection. The collection features handmade miniatures atop watermelons, mushrooms and kiwis making mundane day-to-day activities look extraordinary.
