About

A commercial food photograph by Dominic Episcopo features a hand delicately lifting a piece of golden-brown fried chicken from an overflowing bucket. The white and red bucket displays the classic branding and illustration on its surface. Piles of crispy, breaded fried chicken pieces fill the top of the container. The lighting is direct and warm, highlighting the rough textures of the crunchy batter. The background is a solid, deep red colour that creates high contrast with the subject.
