I am Nithya Radhakrishnan, a passionate photographer, artist and lover of all things aesthetic. Ingredientales is my ongoing fine art food photography project showcasing abstract, whimsical, and artistic creations unifying minimalistic equipment, basic lighting, and creative arrangement and crafting of humble fruits and vegetables.
My photographic vision and imagination aims to present the stunning possibilities of light when it magically travels through the rich texture, pattern, and innate beauty of fruits, vegetables, and select spices.
Thus, pomegranates transform into blood vessels. Strawberry slices become tulips. A host of veggies adorn the “vegan land”, complete with a meadow, house, and fence.
This series presents “edible art” and makes the audience an essential “ingredient” in its multifarious “tales” — the excitement in spotting each ingredient, running one’s eyes through the creative arrangement, and finally taking in the whole piece with a sense of fulfilment.
NOTE: All pictures were shot by arranging sliced fruits / veggies and no photo editing tools were used to add or remove any elements from the pictures but for some basic color corrections.
