Description

An overhead still life shot by photographer Alex Lau captures a traditional spread of Korean banchan served in small stainless steel bowls. The metal tray rests on a surface lined with printed newspaper featuring Korean text and advertisements. The assortment includes bowls filled with kimchi, braised potatoes, sliced egg omelet, spicy stir-fried squid with scallions, and seasoned seaweed flakes. Warm, directional lighting highlights the glistening textures of the food and the polished metallic surfaces of the bowls. The composition is tightly framed, emphasizing the rich colors and variety of the small dishes.
