Great creation through successful inspiration is a quality that few people possess. Fulvio Bonavia has both. An award-winning advertising and editorial photographer, Fulvio Bonavia is a true talent who has fulfilled the highest demands of the hungry eye. His work has been honored by Communication Arts, PDN, the Italian Art Directors Club, and the IPA, among others, and Luerzer’s Archive has named Fulvio one of the ‘200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide’. With the publication of his book ‘A Matter of Taste’ he has achieved the unity of two conflicting worlds throughout time; Food & High Fashion. Both adored and wanted but at the same time forbidden.
‘A Matter of Taste’ illustrates high end fashion garments and accessories from the world’s most famous designers made from food. The beauty though does not stop there. Through the use of great lighting, illustration, transparency and retouching, these pieces have an untouchable style of their own that project a priceless quality only seen before in exceptional pieces from a museum. Louis Kahn had once said ‘Even a brick wants to be something’. In this case its broccoli, prosciutto, artichoke leaves, a watermelon or even granberies. These are all sources that we take for granted daily and it took a true artist to make us stop and admire what we call the simple things in life. And boy, do we love the customization of these daily 'jewels'.
