The manipulative food photography seen here, is the work of Belgium-based photographer Jean Francois De Witte. De Witte, having an obvious mastery of food styling and Photoshop, creates slightly mind-bending works of art, with different foodstuffs as the medium of choice.

More works can be found at De Witte’s website.

She then reinforces the image with her embroidery skills, creating eerily beautiful and monochromatic figures.

Luckily, Tiffany of Cute Food For Kids, has found a creative way around the Babybel forcefield, and turns the mini cheese wheels into cute works of art.
