Our Newspaper of the Month for October is Mis En Place, a portfolio of food photography from Melbourne-based Kristian Beek.

It’s hard to categorise Beek’s work. “I photograph delicious things” is how he puts it. More than that, Beek knows how to pack a surreal visual punch, whether shooting in a studio or greasy spoon. With Mise En Place, which he describes "a newspaper for dining, eating and taste", he's collected a year's worth of his best work in one easily digestible (and distributable) format – a digital tabloid newspaper.

Martin Parr meets Nigel Slater in this hefty 60-page publication – think saturated and stylised studies (see above) alongside lifestyle shoots for recipes like Dutch creams with chilli chive capers.

Beck's vibrant, high-contrast images are perfectly suited for newsprint and Mise en Place is an instant staff favourite. See more of Beek's work on his website.
