Meals Interrupted<\/strong><\/em>: Photography project by Davide Luciano and Claudia Ficca<\/p>\n

After a huge success of their first project Potholes<\/a>, husband-wife duo of photographer\u00a0Davide Luciano<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and artist\u00a0Claudia Ficca<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0have teamed up for the second time to create\u00a0Meals Interrupted<\/strong><\/a>, a conceptual photography series of dining tables abandoned because of various events, namely\u00a0a bee swarm,\u00a0a devastating fire, a full-blown cafeteria food fight, a calculated mobster hit, and\u00a0a heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

The scenes were shot in both NYC and Montr\u00e9al, the artists\u2019 hometown. Luciano did the photography while Ficca handled the food styling. The couple wanted to tell a story through food while challenging themselves to deal with unusual conditions.<\/div>\n

“The idea of working directly with bees was very daunting at first, but once we were in the apiary and the bees were buzzing all around us, it turned out to be very soothing,”<\/em>\u00a0says Claudia Ficca.<\/div>\n

<\/a>“When Davide told me I had to burn all the props, I was shocked. This would be a first for me. I had no idea it would be so liberating!”<\/em>\u00a0says NYC-based prop stylist\u00a0Maeve Sheridan<\/a>, who was a key player on this project.<\/p>\n

Davide Luciano is a fine-art photographer and filmmaker based in NYC. He creates large-scale photographic prints that are cinematic in scope and compelling in content. The photography is detailed and vibrant with amazing surrealist qualities, which are elaborately staged.<\/p>\n

Luciano\u2019s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada and the United States in cities such as New York, Toronto, Montr\u00e9al and Washington. He has won numerous awards, including an award of excellence from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

Claudia Ficca\u2019s journey into professional food styling and photography started in her native Montr\u00e9al. After getting her BA at Concordia University and taking intensive photography classes, she immediately knew her focus would be food photography. She decided to move to NYC where she received her food styling education by apprenticing under some of the city\u2019s best. Claudia has since photographed and styled everything from advertising to editorial pieces for clients such as Cherry Bombe Magazine, VOGUE TV and Food & Wine Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
