Food Art Space Scenes, Achieved by Scanning Food and Spices

Navid Baraty is a Photographer with a background in Engineering, working out of Washington state in the USA.  In today's post we are focusing on his Food Art, where Baraty, scans different foods, without the scanner lid, to create these serene space like images.  Planets and moons are achieved by scanning the bottom of containers full of liquid, whereas nebulas are achieved using trays full of different liquids and stars using different salts and spices.  A lot of preparation, plus trial and error has gone into getting to these images.  The ingredients for each images are listed below each picture.
