About

This editorial photograph by London-based photographer Louise Hagger features a glossy, golden-brown roasted whole duck suspended from a metal hook. The bird is positioned against a dramatic background of reflective, crumpled black plastic sheeting that creates heavy texture and deep shadows. In the lower left corner, a pair of heavy-duty black kitchen scissors rests on the crinkled surface. The flash lighting highlights the lacquered skin of the poultry and the glossy ridges of the plastic, lending the composition a gritty, raw aesthetic.
