"When I first started creating food art, those in boxed lunches (called 'charaben') had been around for a long time—but I was more interested in exploring food art out of the box and simplifying the technique," says Malaysia Instagrammer Samantha Lee (http://instagram.com/leesamantha). Her ideas and creative inspiration come from a variety of fine arts as well as from her daughters, whom she describes as having "endless imagination".
A mother of two daughters, Samantha started devising ways to get them to eat in a healthier and more independent way by applying creativity to her presentation. She designs scenes on plates featuring celebrities, popular characters, animals and famous landmarks, made up mainly of local and fresh edible ingredients. Samantha is very careful about keeping food waste to a minimum, sketching out her designs and ingredients before she cooks. Her minimalistic approach also shows in her camera work, as she edits very little by choosing to shoot in natural light and avoids using too many props in her photos to "let the food art stand out and speak for itself."
