Perfectly Imperfect Food Photography

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Feast Your Eyes on Vanessa Rees’s Photography

— October 25, 2013 — Fashion
Vanessa Rees’ photography dares to get a little messy. The Brooklyn-based artist embraces imperfection, with shots featuring scattered, disheveled food, often mid-preparation. Rees’s collection captures the clutter that food preparation causes in order to create that one perfect dish.

By embracing flaws, Reese sets her photo collection apart from the picture-perfect food editorials that we’re so used to seeing. Instead, Reese injects a sense of play into each photos, which epitomizes the behind-the-scenes pleasure and enjoyment of creating a dish. Rather than staying static, Rees captures a dynamic journey of creation.
