Scott Pitts, Photographer, Seattle

Description

This food photography by Scott Pitts features an artfully arranged still life centered on an ash-rinded artisan cheese wedge with a creamy white interior. A small piece of the cheese is sliced off in the foreground next to a soft-boiled quail egg with a vibrant yellow yolk seasoned with black pepper. Several dark, square seeded crackers fan out above the cheese. All items are presented on a dark, textured rectangular slate board resting on a dark stone surface. The lighting is directional and dramatic, creating subtle highlights on the cheese rind and egg yolk while keeping the deep background moody and restrained.
