Realistic Comfort Foods Playfully Knitted Out Of Wool

This playful project features a collection of delicious foods that you can't actually eat. The Comfort Food series is a collaboration between model maker and prop stylist Jessica Dance and food photographer David Sykes. The two paired up to put a little twist on typical food photography.

Dance used a knitting machine to produce everything from a burger and fries to a full English breakfast out of 100% lambswool. Sykes then worked to build the settings in which the food was placed and to perfectly light the scenes so that the texture is subtle but still visible. From a distance, the compositions seem to be overhead shots of some perfectly arranged meals. However, upon closer inspection, viewers will discover the rows, loops, and texture of the knitted objects.
