Food & Drink: Modernist Cuisine Photography features a fresh collection of mouthwatering images from photographer Nathan Myhrvold and the Modernist Cuisine team. With over 200 photographs from ;Modernist Bread, Modernist Pizza, and Modernist Cuisine Gallery by Nathan Myhrvold, this new title captures the stunning details of the foods and drinks we love from a surprising, playful perspective – it’s a visual feast served up in a gorgeous coffee-table book.
Food & Drink examines its subject matters through six different lenses – photography speed, photography scale, cutaway photography, portraiture, still life photography, and playing with your food – to illustrate how Myhrvold plays with different technology, equipment, styles, and perspectives to capture foods and drinks in a new light. Myhrvold uses cutting-edge photography techniques that combine custom-built cameras and robotics with creativity, endless curiosity, and the willingness to test the limits of shatter-proof wine glasses. From an aerial shot of the gentle carved shapes in a wheat field after harvest to the magnified view of the colorful corona of a tomato seed and wine catapulted to create the perfect splash, Food & Drink beautifully showcases the lifelong photographer’s ever-evolving fascination with food.
Food & Drink features imagery not found in Myhrvold’s previous photography book, and comes packaged in a new shelf-friendly trim size with a slipcase. Measuring 13 x 10.31 inches, it includes over 20 full-spread panoramic images and is printed on high-quality paper.
