I made these three portraits to show the real, messy fun of eating—way more than just a nice pic of food. I wanted to capture how food makes you feel, not just what it looks like.
The first photo (with the box of bones) sets the mood: the bright ceiling light feels super casual, like someone just crushed a big meal and doesn’t care about being tidy. It’s not “pretty”—it’s just real.
The second pic (black-and-white with the single bite) pops the food in color so it stands out. The dark background and close-up make it feel like you’re right there with them, hungry and ready to dig in. The plastic glove and wet table make it feel like a normal, unplanned moment.
The third photo (the huge bite) is all about chaos: wide mouth, crinkled eyes, messy gloves. The dim, warm light makes it feel like a late-night snack where you stop worrying about being “nice” and just enjoy. I wanted it to feel energetic—like you can almost hear the crunch.
These aren’t perfect portraits. They’re about catching the truth of a moment: the mess, the hunger, and the simple happiness of eating something you love.
