Edible Seascape Food Art for O Organics

Here is some client work I did earlier this year for Albertsons, featuring their O Organics line. The original prompt for this photoshoot was to make cute—but approachable—food art that invoked imagery of an ocean escape or summertime by the sea. We decided to go with an underwater seascape made of organic veggies. For me, it was so fun to think about which vegetables in the O Organics line could possibly resemble the fascinating plant life found growing out of the ocean floor. Until this project, I never realized how much cauliflower looked like mini corals, for example!

I used a smear of hummus and some chopped almonds to represent the sand for the bottom of my oceanscape, green beans for kelp/longer seaweed, and a combination of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to make other coral structures. I turned ribbons of carrots into fish and made a crab out of red peppers. I honestly love that little crabby fella so much.

Here are photos from the shoot.
