Alex Lau, Photographer, New York

Description

This photograph by Alex Lau captures a food preparation scene inside a commercial kitchen in New York. A person's hands are visible as they carefully decorate a large, textured layered cake topped with an abundant arrangement of fresh red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and yellow cherries. The cake sits on a metal tray on a prep table surrounded by stainless steel hotel pans containing various ingredients and produce. The lighting is direct and bright, characteristic of a working kitchen environment, highlighting the granular texture of the cake's outer crumb coating and the glossy surfaces of the fresh fruit.
