If you have ever tried to take a close-up photograph of a person, or some part of him, you could see from your own experience how these photographs differ from what we imagine and want to see. The skin is not so smooth and clean, the hairs on it are much thicker and thicker, and all the imperfections and unevenness of the skin are visible so that these photos can be called a dermatologist's dream. Whereas macro photography of animals, insects and even invisible viruses and bacteria leads us to a state of surprise, amazement and admiration. American photographer Karen Alpert held a macro photo session food … It turned out very exciting - see for yourself. Karen is a professional photographer. In the sense that she makes her living photographing food for catalogs, posters and brochures, cookbooks and magazines. Scientifically, her profession is called food photographer, and although a photographer is a creative profession, photographers also have to deal with science. If we are talking about Karen Alpert, then this is the study of food under the powerful lenses of sophisticated microscopes.
By the way, in her heart Karen really considers herself a scientist, a researcher. She says that she was always interested in what is hidden beyond the line where nothing can be seen with the naked eye. So, one day she got to a lecture by a famous photo artist, and saw macro photography of insects performed by him. And this fascinated her so much that she realized what she wanted to do in the next few years. Only the girl decided to shoot not insects, but food. “We are what we eat,” people say. How fair this statement is, the photographer wondered, and tried to answer it herself, photographing food at multiple magnification.
"Our society has built a cult out of food. Not only adults, but also children suffer from obesity. What do we actually eat, what does it look like if you take a closer look?" - photographs by Caren Alpert can answer these questions … Or they can only become a beautiful, amazing picture of long-known "friends" who visit our refrigerators and stomachs every day.
