Aaron Graubart’s “Gyotaku” Photos are Inspired by Traditional Japanese Prints

"We didn’t storyboard the images but we did have a clear idea of how they should look. " says photographer Aaron Graubar about his photos inspired by the traditional Japanese fish printing technique called Gyotaku.

"Each set was constructed in layers - the printed background, then in some of the images a glass plate, raised above that was a clear perspex sheet with the food arranged on top so that the food appears to float above the surface. Directional, very hard lighting completes the overall effect. " Aaron continued to state that it was a true collaboration between prop stylist Alexander Breeze (who first had the idea to use this as our inspiration), food stylist Sal Henley and himself. .
