Fascinated by its gnarled  potato-like appearance and shockingly fresh  nutty flavor  Mullan began searching for  and photographing  rare apple varieties. In Odd Apples  each apple is lovingly rendered and styled according to its individual personalitya combination of its looks and its flavors. The apples are set against complementary brightly colored backdrops; they are peeled or unpeeled  cut or whole  skin shriveled or perfectly smooth and shiny. It is precisely this odd charm combined with the hitherto unknown that makes these photographs fascinating studies of a supposedly commonplace fruit. Mullan embraces its idiosyncratic aesthetic qualities completely  and invites us  in this attractive gift book  to embark on a visual expedition into the world of the apple. By day  William Mullan (born 1989) works at an artisanal chocolate factory in Brooklyn  and by night  he photographs fruit. British-born  New Yorkbased Mullan came to photography as an autodidact and his talent was quickly recognized. His Odd Apple project developed into an influential and much talked-about series  reviewed by the New Yorker  the New York Times and i-D Magazine  and released as a sold-out run of prints on his website.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789693542453,"sku":"ByrdShop_3775751122","price":24.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783775751124.jpg?v=1784694523","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/william-mullan-odd-apples-9783775751124","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
