HOW I DID IT
My husband and I are into 'clean eating' so
there’s an abundance of fresh fruit in our
kitchen. I really like how the colours of the
beautiful unusual fruit contrast so well with thecrisp white of the fridge. I used natural daylight
and the internal light of the fridge to make the
fruits look like they were under the spotlight
and in a police line up!DETAILS

HOW I DID IT
One of the joys in my life of retirement is helping out
with a program for young people from impoverished
families in North Bali, where the students spend a
year learning the skills needed for a career in the
tourism industry. Here the students, near the end of
their course, run a simulated restaurant as part of their
assessment. The pressure is on. This was a candid
shot of part of the scene in the kitchen, the young “chef”
in charge of the kitchen trying to make sure everything
goes out perfectly.
