Description

This close-up photograph by Dominic Episcopo captures a thick-cut piece of raw meat seasoned generously with coarse crystals of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Several fresh sprigs of green thyme rest in the foreground alongside glistening juices. The lighting is bright and directional, emphasizing the fine marbling of the meat and the crisp texture of the seasonings. The shallow depth of field keeps the focus sharply on the edge of the cut and the herbal garnish.
