You may never look at cereal the same way after viewing Arizona-based photographer Ernie Button’s latest set ‘Cerealism.’ Created using some of the breakfast world's best-known products, the photo collection features several terrains that are made primarily out of breakfast cereals.
Clovers from Lucky Charms placed on a bed of grass, pyramids made of Cheerios and Shredded Wheat bales of hay are just a few of the shots that Button designed for the collection. In an interview with Wired Raw File, Button explains that he got the idea one day while walking down the cereal aisle in the grocery store. The rest, as they say, is history. The complete collection can be viewed online at Button’s personal website with physical prints being shown at a gallery in Portland.
