In this series I tried as a experiment to use raw materials to create shapes/silhouettes of the most commonly used cutlery found in kitchens worldwide.

Personally I really like the strength, simplicity of the shapes and texture that come with this series and thats the reason this is my submission for ADAA 2017.

Update!: This series made it into the Semifinals of the Adobe Awards! (woow!!)
I never could imagine something like this could happen.
Because the Jury wanted to have more story I will try to do so.

For school we were been given the assignment to try and create some product photography.
I immediately thought about a image i created for the main assignment last year (A bottle campaign for a specific brand (see image below))  and wanted to see if I could take it further.  

So I did! I learned from the image above that simple shapes works best. Meanwhile I was in the kitchen doing the dishes where I suddenly thought. "This spoon looks doable so why don't we try it with this?"

A few days later I grabbed a bag of concrete powder (recommended by the teacher), tripod, and some more stuff, placed them on the gardentable outside (I did it outside because this could get messy) and started experimenting!

I set up my light (cheap studio flash + softbox) so it was coming from the right side to create as much texture as possible. What I really found interesting was that in the shadow of the silouette of the spoon, you could see a other spoon.

This encouraged me to go further and try out other different shapes creating the series you see above and below.

I really didn't do much to it. While opening Photoshop I wanted to try to make the concrete powder look more like red spices to make the cutlery concept more stronger which worked out pretty wel resulting in these 3 images/series above.
