David’s photos present food in a crisp, clean light, while still avoiding an overly “styled” look. I like the way that the artist keeps the food looking real, with the occasional drip of syrup or crumbs spilling off the plate. These small details add a lot in terms of making the food look accessible and tactile - an element that David has practiced and maintained since the last time we featured his food photography. The artist also includes dishes and background elements – sometimes fresh cups of coffee to accompany desserts, and utensils and waiting serving plates pictured behind savoury dishes.
David has also produced some video works, where his food styling is showcased in a more animated light. Each dish appears lively and sumptuous through the cooking process, all the way to the finished plate.
