About

This commercial food photography piece by photographer and director Jon Bader features a close-up shot of a gourmet fried chicken burger. The sandwich is assembled on a golden brioche bun topped with black and white sesame seeds, holding crispy fried chicken, creamy mayonnaise, and a crisp slaw of shredded green cabbage and sliced radishes. It rests upon a textured light grey stone or concrete tile against a dark, moody textured background, complemented by scattered green onion shreds and a small wooden skewer. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the rich textures of the crispy coating and the fresh produce.
