Brittany Wright
food gradients

These Instagram photos of food organised by colour are a joy to look at

Wow.

BRITTANY WRIGHT IS a freelance photographer in Seattle, Washington. She’s also passionate about food, and when she combines the two, the results are fantastic.

Wright recently created a photo series called #FoodGradients, where she arranges food items by color.

There’s nothing she can’t arrange. From toast to raspberries to doughnuts to eggs, Wright is far from running out of ideas.

People went crazy for the photos (some you can find on her Instagram) and she was featured everywhere from New York Magazine to BuzzFeed.

Now she’s on a road trip across the country, photographing food and farms from Portland to New York City.

Wright spends a lot of time organising the foods she photographs.

“There’s seemingly no random hodgepodge she can’t beautifully arrange by colour gradient,” New York Magazine’s GrubStreet concluded.

It’s not all about colours and gradient — a lot of what Wright does for her photographs is similar to the “knolling” trend that’s popular on Instagram and on lifestyle photography blogs.

“I want everyone to see what their food looks like,” Wright told BuzzFeed’s Mackenzie Kruvant. “I’d love to help “rebrand” fruits and vegetables, helping shed a bright light on how lovely they actually are.”
