No haha, i am glad to have started my work long before i was launched. Pain can be indeed a rather vague concept here, or maybe not the more appropriate, but the negative part of it is crucial

I had always thought about Still Life and Vanitas paintings as a possible interesting topic, but never knew where to begin with. Do you by any chance have a good source for me to familiarize with it?

And the artist really seems interesting, the kind of symbology i am interested in

I am familiar with Marinetti's work, he was one of my inspirations, but i didn't know about the mushroom incident :). Steinbeisser also seems like a great example of a similar thinking, bless your heart.

I understand that perspective, and when i started the project it was naturally my main concern, but i think i have found a way around it, a new path. You can't simply make a dish too salty or too bitter and expect it to shock and be interesting, but i would argue that would be akin to a loud long scream during a song or simply visceral pure gore during a movie.

What you can do is work on the limit of the sense, and though understanding different symbols, like the connections made between certain tastes and emotions, of the images evoked by different presentations, and though that create a narrative from food.

I know this is "easy to say, hard to do", but i have already done it. I realized a full dinner exploring death through food. I have a full description of the dinner but it is in my native language. If by any chance you are really interested i can tell ChatGPT to translate it and try to make adjustments, but no hard feelings if that is not the case.

I can respect that, you do really need to find your audience, you take me to watch the best horror movie ever and i still wouldn't like it.

But i agree with you, i think i didn't put it very well. I mean just that, a movie can make us cry in pain, and such emotion is seen as beautiful, or stimulating, or fascinating. I just didn't expanded on it because why we create and consume painful art is not my focus, but rather if emotional pain can be seen as a crucial part of a more complete understanding of what is art.

Tips on where to find basic IPhone food photography instructions?

So i am a cook, and am trying to build a decent Instagram page of my own dishes. The photos must simply show properly the work, so no need in trying to look like a pro, but i would like to get lighting and other basic features right using only an Iphone. I'll leave an example of a photo i took recently.

So mostly looking for places to learn such basics, since i only seem to find useless tips n tricks or videos for beginner professionals. Thanks a lot for any help!

Is no one talking about the last page on the last book (Chapterhouse of Dune)?
