Fanciful Food Dioramas (UPDATE)

MINIMIAM by Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida is Tastily Adventurous

French food photographers Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida are back at it again with fanciful dioramas that would either inspire people to get off their butts and have an adventure or stay in and eat everything in their fridges. From first contacts with aliens to polar bears enjoying a boat ride and a stint with the bat-signal, they don't leave any rock unturned when it comes to fun scenarios.

Although parents would admonish kids when it came to playing with their meals, it is hard to argue against Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida's MINIMIAM series. Not only does it encourage imagination and creativity, it does so in a playfully unique way that will have people looking around themselves with new eyes.
