the process - In order to capture my images, I took a photo scanner and covered it in cling film or translucent paper. I the placed the chosen food element onto the photo scanner ,for instance spaghetti hoops, I then covered the top of the food in cling film or translucent paper to ensure the safety of the photo scanner but also, to ensure I could close the scanner fully in order to avoid reflections of light. I learnt this after a few attempts.

The process of trial and error...
