Emoji Food Photography

Photographer Heather Adamson Created This Fun Emoji Art from Food

Scottish photographer Heather Adamson has been creating fun emoji art out of delicious everyday food items. The graphic designer and popular recipe blogger has been posting photos of her food creations on her Instagram account for some time now. However, it is her social-media inspired recipes that have helped Adamson gain a massive following.

Most of Adamson's creations are made from breakfast items, with oatmeal being a popular choice of base. Some noteworthy creations include a chocolate-flavored monkey emoji, a toothy smiling emoji made from mango slices and a colorful flower emoji surrounded by strawberry slices. Not only do Adamson's creations look exactly like their social media counterparts, they also look undeniably tasty.

Of course, Adamson does more than simply create fun emoji art. Her Instagram also features a series of hearty and healthy recipes for some non-emoji related food inspiration.
