Helen Cathcart, Photographer, London

Description

This overhead food photography capture by Helen Cathcart features a freshly baked shepherd pie served in a white ceramic baking dish with twin handles. The golden mashed potato topping is artfully swirled and garnished with crisp dark sage leaves and drizzles of olive oil. A slice is missing from the pie, revealing a rich, dark filling of lentils or minced meat in a savory tomato base. The dish rests on a fringed pink linen napkin atop a distressed, mottled rust-brown surface. A long-handled serving spoon with remnants of the pie sits to the left. The lighting is natural and directional, highlighting the textures of the food and the rustic tabletop.
