# Realistic Food-Formed Landscapes Foodscapes 3 by Carl Warner is Chock Full of Surreal Scenes By Meghan Young | Published 2013-07-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodscapes-3 References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Foodscapes-3/6991747) & [carlwarner](http://www.carlwarner.com/foodscapes/) London-based photographer and food artist Carl Warner is back at it again, this time with his Foodscapes 3 photo series. As mind-boggling as his previous [Foodscape](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-stylists) creations, his work somehow straddles the line between realism and surrealism even though the Foodscapes 3 series undeniable resides wholly in the latter category. What makes the Foodscapes 3 photo series particularly impressive is that they were created using real food items such as fish, broccoli and candy. Each scene is built on top of a large purpose built triangular table top and shot in layers since the process is very time-consuming and the food wilts fairly quickly. Warner also works with model makers and food stylists. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Realistic Food-formed Landscapes:** Opportunity for innovative food photography and art using real food to create surreal scenes. - **Foodscapes 3 Photo Series:** Creating realistic and surreal scenes by photographing purpose-built food landscapes. - **Collaboration with Model Makers and Food Stylists:** Potential for creative partnerships between photographers, model makers, and food stylists to enhance food-based art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the field of photography by exploring unique food-based photography techniques. - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative uses of food as an artistic medium can create new opportunities within the food and beverage industry. - **Art and Design:** Food-based art collaborations can disrupt traditional art and design practices, offering a fresh perspective and approach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Unconventional Foodie Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-magazine.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Architectural Sugar Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-story-of-salt-and-sugar.md) - [Agriculturally Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md)
