Christopher Boffoli takes playing with your food to a whole new level.
The Seattle based photographer is the mastermind behind "Big Appetites," a photo series and book that combines miniature human figures with foods to create life-like scenes.
From a man pushing a snowblower through piles of powdered donuts to a family camping trip under a broccoli forrest, Boffoli's photos are both whimsical and delicious.
