Surreal ‘Space’ Photography Created With Common Edible Household Items

Stars: salt, cinnamon, baking powder



The last time we featured work by photographer Navid Baraty, it was his aerial photos of New York City.



His current project looks like it is from a whole different world. His new project, Wander features an imaginary space probe's view of fictional space scenes created by using ordinary everyday household items on an open photo scanner.



Baraty creates these fictional worlds by using basic baking ingredients like flour, cinnamon and curry powder as well as other items like cat hair and silica gel. The result is a surprising, beautiful yet believable view of the cosmos.



Scroll down to admire Baraty's wonderful space worlds and to find out what he uses for each shot. Head over here to view more.
