  5. One emotion that comes to mind for me is wonder. How does this smoke come out of those fruits and vegetables? I’m curious as to how these photos were obtainable.

    What the photographer has done is taken ordinary fruits and vegetables, and made smoke pour out of them, almost making them look as if they’re poisonous.

    The colors make the fruits look either rotten or poisonous to me. Or like it’s a defense response when they are bitten into or something.

  10. What emotions come to mind when you look at these photos?
    -The emotions that I get when I look at these images are: Fear (not totally scared of it just curious fear) and surprise (because they are different from a conventional photograph).

    How do they make you feel? What does the photographer do with everyday objects?
    -These images make me feel as if a mad scientist has done something to them to make them come alive like zombies or Frankenstein. The photographer takes these everyday food items and gives them a character and life based on how the “mist” that comes from within them looks.

    What role does color play in these photos?
    -The color (to me anyways) gives off a somewhat evil and mysterious aura to the fruits and veggies.

  13. The emotions that come to mind when I look at these are calm and relaxed. The feeling I get when I look at these are a happy creepy feeling, its not dark but its still kinda weird to me. He turns them into things people wouldn’t normally do with the them. I think its to add feeling to the photo, or to make the photo as if the fruit were to have feeling and its spilling out of them.

  14. When I look at these photos the emotions that I get is how did they do that did they take all the inside out and replaced it with smoke so these photos makes me feel surprising. Like I said these photos make me wonder how did the photographers made these photos and what type of effect did they use and i also feel surprised. They take fruits and veggies I think and make smoke come out of them and make them look interesting. I think that maybe color represents their emotions that are inside of them.

  15. what emotions come to mind? I think curiosity is the main emotion/feeling coming to my mind from these captures. That curiosity comes from wondering how the photographer made these shots happen, did he use a smoke bomb? how does the smoke come out so smoothly.
    The photographer gives the everyday objects a tinge of mystery, and almost personifies them by giving each shot its own little personality.

    Color is probably the main ingredient in these shots because all of the smoke (the focal points) is what attracts the eye right away, the color is used to compliment, or contrast the fruit and make the shot more visually appealing. For example, how the photographer used red smoke for the insides of the watermelon, and that makes sense to me since the inside of a watermelon is red

  30. When I look at these photos, I feel hungry because of the food, happy because of the colorfulness, confused as to how he got a smoke bomb in the food, and I think of the beauty and how great a photo this is. This photographer takes normal things we see commonly, and makes them abnormal. I think that the photographer chose the color based on what goes best with the color of the fruit or vegetable, or it could have something to do with the mystical origins.
