Inspired by 17th-century still life paintings, New York photographer Aliza Eliazarov staged food she rescued from garbage dumpsters for beautiful photographs that feature wasted food. Eliazarov hopes her work will increase public awareness and even curb food waste. She called the series “Waste Not” and gathered the produce with help from a freegan directory and organizations in NYC that are working to combat food insecurity with food waste such as City Harvest and Dan Barber’s wastED popup.
