Cheeky little fruits

From the new snapshot: "Humor"

Fruit is tasty and healthy. But otherwise it's rather unexciting. It just lies around. Or is it? Photographer Victoria Ivanova stages her pears in a fun way, playing with the magic of black and white shots.

Victoria Ivanova - Underwear

This artistic project made us wonder: how do you come up with an idea like this? Victoria then told us a bit about her story. She started playing with food, especially fruit, as a small child. She learned to love the cartoon Cipollino (Onion; 1961 film) and began to draw funny pictures of the characters in the movie. Over the years, Victoria also took her first steps in photography with this theme. In the beginning, the fruits still had eyes, legs and arms. Victoria now leaves these details out so that the fruits can speak for themselves. The photographer has no specific intention for her project. She simply loves finding interesting vegetables and fruit that she can stage specifically for her visual stories. For new pictures, everything starts with a sketch. For her, this is the most creative part of the work. However, most of the time is taken up by the search for the most suitable fruit and vegetables. Often ten stores are searched until the ideal model is found. Once all the models have been "cast", it's time to build the backdrop and take the photos. This always takes place at night. There is a good reason for this: Victoria uses a self-built lighting set-up in a completely dark room. Music is usually playing while she is taking photos. She describes this state as her "photo meditation".
