Food in Nature
Food in Nature is a food photography project created for a seafood restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The series presents the dishes of a new fine dining menu, and each dish is given its own layout and story. The concept links food to nature by showing fragile flowers growing from arid stones, a scene that suggests survival and growth. The vibrant colors of the flowers and the unusual shapes of the stones are emphasized. Artificial light was used to imitate light reflected from the sea and to express the freshness of the seafood.
Food in Nature Photography by Duc Bui has been featured as a creative illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards.

The A' Photography and Photo Manipulation Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition which recognizes excellent design of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, photojournalism, fashion shots, architectural images, wildlife captures, sports events and more.
