Charlie Mckay, Photographer, London

Description

This overhead editorial photograph by Charlie Mckay captures a dining scene focused on a large ceramic platter of fresh raw oysters served on crushed ice with a central dipping sauce. A woman in a dark patterned top holds an open oyster above the plate while showcasing vibrant blue fingernail polish and gold jewelry. Another hand holds a wine glass nearby, and a side plate with food rests on the dark wooden table. The composition uses warm ambient lighting to highlight the textures of the shellfish, ice, and velvet clothing.
