Christopher Simpson, Photographer, New York

Description

A top-down food photograph captured by Christopher Simpson features glossy, glazed chicken wings resting on wire cooling racks and on top of a newspaper sheet. Beside the wings sits a vibrant green basket filled with fresh lettuce, cilantro, purple basil, and thinly sliced carrots. Additional condiment bottles, including a squeeze bottle of hot sauce, are arranged near the basket on the printed newsprint surface. The composition uses hard lighting with visible shadows, emphasizing the caramelized textures and glistening surfaces of the food against a dark, textured background.
