Pictures Communicate Popular Sayings in Idioms

New York-based still life and food photographer Beth Galton uses simple pairs of pictures to communicate some of English’s most common sayings. The conceptual project, Idioms, features minimalist pictures of styled food pairs that are not individually labeled. Part of the fun of the pictures is trying to guess which particular phrases Galton is portraying. While some are pretty obvious, others will keep you guessing.
