About the Artist: Christian Bennett
“The champion radish grows well in cooler weather; has a bright red, crisp, round shape; and is perfect for salads or garnishes. I chose this radish for my subject for its bright red color and earthy green leaves. I have a passion for beautiful produce, and these radishes make a perfect partner to a light romaine and blue cheese salad. Plus, it’s perfect for a dark and moody photo shoot.”
