About

This editorial photograph captured by Heami Lee in New York presents a close-up scene of a traditional dining experience. A person extends their hands holding small dishes while another hand pours a clear liquid from a glass bottle into a small drinking glass. A large stainless steel tray holds an array of small metal bowls containing various side dishes, including seasoned meats and vegetables, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. The background features bright red square wall tiles with white grout lines, creating a bold grid pattern. The lighting is direct and warm, highlighting the textures of the food and the hands.
