Fruit, vegetables or whatever else she finds in her kitchen, as well as a little dough and paper: photographer Charlotte Love does not need any more to bring food to life. A melon then becomes a beauty queen, courgettes win prizes, and lemons turn into cats.
The background of the photos makes Love colorful, so that the creations stand out. Some pictures are created within a few minutes, for others Love takes several hours - depending on how elaborate the character is.
The ingredients for the pictures of the London stylist are manageable: eyes, mouths, mustaches, tongues and maybe even an accessory, that's all Love needs to give greenery a face. From the often funny facial expressions of their creations can be derived in many cases, a personality.

Happy melon, naughty lemon: When food shows faceFor example, in Love's favorite motif, a strip of smoked bacon with a cigarette in his mouth. Because of the tired facial expression with the drooping eyelids, it looks like "Smokey Bacon" has been smoking for a lifetime.
Love is inspired by people they happen to meet: on the street, on the bus or in the supermarket. They love watching people and imitating their facial expressions. Love has been around this thing since childhood.
At a young age, she had a very lively imagination and seen faces in many objects, says Love. One day, as an adult, she glued some banana eyes to a banana - and was so amused by the result that from that point on she did not let that bauble go.
The reactions to her photos are consistently positive, so the photographer. She posts the latest portraits on her Instagram account Charlottelovely, where she is followed by nearly 83,000 people. Currently, Love is in maternity leave, but after that she definitely wants to continue: "I can not wait to take pictures that make others laugh." We neither.
