Eating habits

This series explores the mannerisms of people when they eat. Photographs were taken in homes and personal spaces where we are more relaxed. Eating etiquette is culturally specific and there are rules that should be observed. For example, it is considered rude in China to point or suck the tips of chopsticks. Using a knife and fork correctly is also considered to be important for good table manners. The series also explores how our environment influences how we eat. TV dinners are very popular and remove the self-conscious act of eating in a more formal setting around a table surrounded by other people. The interior of the rooms also provide some insight to how individuals break the rules, their body language and gestures reveal a very private activity.
