KC R. Sandidge Photography Scholarship
WinnerI wanted to create a collection of photos that provoke the warmth that delicious food has. The overall mode I tried to create with these pictures is coziness. Starting with the breakfast scene photo and the family gathering around the breakfast table. The movement in the photo communicates a science of energy and vibrancy. Moving on to the stuffed grape leaves, the action shot of the lemon squeeze allows the audience to taste the savory of the unique dish.
The pizza preparation shot has the vibrant tomato sauce color creating the vibrancy of the scene and adding a needed pop of color to communicate the playfulness and warmth of the scene. Finally, the cake preparation shot has a dark and moody scene that adds a moody vibe to the shot and helps the viewers feel the depth of the scene.
The common thing between all these pictures is that they remind me of my memories with my family around the kitchen table. Homemade food has something special about it. It has the element of love and warmth. Food for me isn’t just a way for us to satisfy our basic needs but rather a medium to communicate love, warmth, and culture.
