Koch Robbie Postma arbeitet mit dem Fotografen Robert Harrison gemeinsam für eine Amsterdamer Werbeagentur. Aus einer Bierlaune heraus, kam der gelernte Küchen-Profi auf eine skurrile Idee: Er wollte die Bestandteile eines Gänge-Menüs auf eine besondere Art darstellen – und dachte dabei nicht an eine extrovertierte Drapierung auf gewöhnlichen Speisetellern, wie Spiegel Online berichtet.
„Dieses Projekt handelt im Grunde vom Streben nach Perfektion und soll zeigen, wie wichtig Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit sind, um etwas Schönes zu erschaffen“, erklärt Postma. Das Kunstprojekt zog sich über ein Jahr hin, denn die einzelnen Zutaten mussten akribisch von Hand auf dem Gesicht Postmas platziert werden. Für die meisten Fotos hätten er und Robert Harrison bis zu neun Stunden gebraucht. Bei der Fotosession hätten sie den gleichen Arbeitsprozess wie in der Küche befolgt, wie der Fotograf erklärt: angefangen bei der Auswahl der Zutaten, die Vorbereitungen und Komposition der vielen verschiedenen Lebensmittel. Ohne nachträgliche Bearbeitung mit künstlichen Effekten sind Portraits entstanden, die Gurken, Karotten, Zucchini und Rettich ein echt schräges Gesicht geben:
How would you like your coffee? One single ingredient can be used in endless variations. www.postma-harrison.com A series of portraits taking you back to the origin of a menu. A dinner through the eyes of a photographer and chef „When creating these images, Postma and Harrison stuck to the same principles and values a chef would when creating a menu: paying a lot of attention to the details, the composition, the preparation and of course the ingredients. From cutlery to coffee bean, every component is painstakingly prepared to produce the ultimate effect. And every grain of rice was added by hand, without the aid of digital manipulation. MENU is hand crafted. Just like the best food.“ @robbie_postma #diningonthedarkside #devilisinthedetails #foodphotography #portraitphotography #portret #dessert #coffee #cafe #espresso #passion #broncolor #canon #setlife #studiophotography #incamerarealism #artist #art #conceptphotography #conceptart #lighting

As a final dish we’re serving this sweet sensation. Try to build up to a climax when building your menu In their series of portraits, Robbie Postma (chef) and Robert Harrison (photographer) take the viewer back to the origin of a menu. Through visual imagination and culinary flair, they evoke every step of a fine dining experience, but rather than focusing of the final, finessed dishes, MENU makes the raw, unprocessed ingredients the heroes. Served on the closest place you can get to a chef’s mind: on his face.

With the next dish we’re serving this red wine to compliment the deep red tones of the meat. When pairing the right drink with your dish you can create an explosion of taste. „When creating these images, Postma and Harrison stuck to the same principles and values a chef would when creating a menu: paying a lot of attention to the details, the composition, the preparation and of course the ingredients.
