# Architecture-Inspired Food Photography Bauhaus by Nicky&Max Relies on Geometry for Artistic Flair By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhaus-by-nickymax References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672612/classic-bauhaus-designs-reimagined-in-food) & [nickyandmax](http://nickyandmax.com/) Bauhaus by Nicky&Max, a blog founded by British photographer Nicola Walsh and German chef Max Faber, is a food photography series inspired by the [modern architectural style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suprematist-bureau) popular in the early 1900s that spawned an art movement of the same name. Adopting the geometric aesthetic of the art style, this series presents food in a much more abstract way. Of course, it all comes down to arrangement, which such [still life images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious) thrive off of. Although the images showcased in Bauhaus by Nicky&Max all adhere to an earthy palette, there is nothing bland about them. Instead, the neutral hues encourage the audience to focus more on the composition of the food and props. Walsh reveals, "It was very much an experiment, to see how far we could push the idea of food photography." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Architecture-inspired Food Photography:** Food photography inspired by architecture, using geometric aesthetics to create abstract images of food. - **Abstract Food Presentation:** Presenting food in a more abstract way, using composition and props in earthy palettes to encourage focus on form. - **Exploratory Food Photography:** Pushing the boundaries of food photography through experimentation with modern architecture-inspired styles. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Incorporating architectural-inspired food presentation and abstract photography into menus and marketing material. - **Art and Design Industry:** Exploring the intersection of art and food through geometric aesthetics and still life compositions. - **Social Media Industry:** Creating visually stunning and shareable content for food-focused social media accounts and blogs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bauhaus-Inspired Pattern Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-en-rogue.md) - [Lifestyle Collection Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highsnobiety-x-bauhausarchiv.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Light-Filled Gluten-Free Bakeries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuba-bakery.md) - [Paired-Back Modernist Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernist-interior.md) - [German Ambiance Bakery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acid-bakery.md) - [Paired-Back Chinese Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairedback-chinese-restaurant.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Suprematist-Inspired Bureau Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suprematist-bureau.md)
