My name is Anna Tokarska and I'm a Polish artist & photographer creating realistic looking portraits composed mostly of fruits and vegetables. The inspiration behind the work, are the paintings of XVI Italian mannerist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, who has been known for his incredible allegorical-still life-portraits.

The whole set of eight photographs took about a month to complete. Each was built vertically with great care, measuring from 50-80cm, then photographed.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526 or 1527 – July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, ... At a distance, his portraits looked like normal human portraits. I would like to see you transform this style of work into something more individual to your personality.

You should check out the work of Jason Mecier, who also makes portraits out of food. My favorite: his portrait of Kevin Bacon, made out of bacon.
