photo-eye is excited to welcome JP Terlizzi to the Photographer's Showcase and feature his brilliant series The Good Dishes.
Terlizzi’s The Good Dishes is a feast for the eyes. The exquisitely constructed tablescapes — with specially designed background textiles, inherited china sets, and unconventional food combinations — invite us to examine the representation of food and our appetite for such images. Drawing inspiration from classic still-life painting and social conventions around the table, Terlizzi explores the relationship of memory, family, intimacy, and beauty through one of the most popular and ubiquitous photographic genres — food photography. Terlizzi’s alluring and dynamic photographs finally prove that it is fun to play with food.
