Crisp, crunchy, succulent and juicy. Warm summer days make cool salad a welcome meal which doesn’t involve the heat of cooking. With their colours, shapes and intricate structures, these tasty friends are a joy to photograph on their journey to the salad bowl. This was a home shoot with an upside – plenty to eat for days to come.











Excellent! Love your blog
Thanks :) Yours is making me hungry. I was looking for an ‘about’ section to find out more about who’s behind your blog – the first place I always go to. Have I missed something?
Crikey I wished my salad looked as crisp and tidy as this. Wonderful images Mike and in particular the scallion tops is a favourite.
Thanks so much, James, always good to hear your thoughts. Yes, I like the salad onions too. Well worth balancing on a chair for! I hope you’re enjoying eating up the wonderful countryside in your part of the world.
Great post! I am very interested in that
Great set of images Mike……what made you think of these to photograph?
Thank you Mark, it was a lot of fun to do. I guess I was driven by seasonal factors and the chance to use my impromptu studio space again.
I’m loving your artistry, Mike. There is some real style about these images. Loving them, and what they then went on to produce. :)
Thank you Richard, I enjoyed my subjects before and after the shoot (mwaaahahahahaha!)
…enjoyed them a little TOO much, by the sound of it!
What are you suggesting, Mr CK? Not the cucumber?!
I meant a nice, healthy salad… I’m not sure where your mind was going!
Yes are you ;-)
Haha!
Food photography. Finally! ;) Nice ‘Heart of greenness’-photo!
You see I hardly eat. Unlike Koos ;-))) Glad you like them, it was fun to do.
But you eat your veggies! Good boy!
Even my greens! Can I have chocolate now?
Chocolate cake with some chocolate ice-cream.
