10 delightful photos of your favorite foods sliced directly down the middle

When photographer Beth Galton and food stylist Charlotte Omnès decided to collaborate, they knew they wanted to take a critical look at the foods we eat everyday.

During the process of choosing those items, they realized that pairing various foods together would be more efficient and visually appealing. "Shown together, they create a stronger statement about their symbolic nature," Galton told Business Insider.

We talked to Galton about how she created the series.
