My new passion: Trays

One day in college I came across my new photographic passion rather accidentially and spontaneously. When talking about typology in photography we were asked by our tutor to work on a little exercise on that topic.

It came immediately to my mind that the returned trays with their empty plates, packaging and dirty cutlery would be perfect for that. The tray as a formal uniform frame placed on a very bland background and the actual image is very informal and chaotic. 

These trays reflected so much on how we look at food in modern society but also is highly estetic. Never thought, trays could tell so much. In the long run I plan to visit canteens and start a series with pictures/collages similar to this:
