Blake Little first got the idea for his 'Preservation ' series when he photographed a 'bear-ish ' man eating honey . He was inspired by this image and decided to create an art project that would capture what it looked like to eat honey in its natural state, without any chemicals or preservatives. He found models of all shapes and sizes , including a one-and-a-half year old child , an 85-year-old woman , and a dog . Little used 1,000lb of honey every week , which was then reused on the next model , while shooting the series . One model said she found the substance cold and 'weird feeling ' but then said she felt 'protected in a way '
