Born in England, inspired to draw as a young boy by Salvador Dali’s surrealism, and the fantastical illustrations of Patrick Woodroffe (Judas Priest album covers), and record sleeve artists such as Roger Dean and the work of Storm Thorgerson’s Hipgnosis studio (Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of The Moon”, Led Zeppelin, and books like Douglas Adam’s “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”), Carl went to drawing school, only to find photography more his style, and in 2008, became an international hit while creating his own genre of (food) art. We’ll discuss how Carl builds his own sets out of edible ingredients, conceptualizes what foods belong in the photo, how long it all sits out, and why he lost his sense of smell.
