It was great to head back to the Eden Project a few weeks ago. I spent a week there last year, mainly focusing on product photographs but I was still a little concerned as to how I would handle a week photographing an area I thought I had already photographed to death.
It might not be obvious from these photographs but the weather was terrible for 90% of the week, working on five briefs in five days in bad weather was a bit of a challenge.
Last year the bakery was still under construction so this was one of the areas I was keen to photograph this year. There is something very clean and uniformed about food that seems to attract me to photograph it. I have had a project in my mind for some time now around the idea of food photography and I was hoping to communicate these ideas to those at Eden. Unfortunately I was unable to reach the specific people, possibly a blessing in disguise with the majority of my time at the moment spent on the St. George's Park project.
A project for 2013 possibly?
It's always a pleasure working with the Eden Project, great photographic opportunities and challenges to overcome.
