About

This portrait photograph by London-based photographer Steven Joyce features a person wearing a dark blue t-shirt and a canvas grey apron over top, standing against a dark background. The subject is holding up a large, whole fresh flatfish by its tail, presenting it centrally in the frame. The lighting is focused and warm, highlighting the mottled texture and speckled skin of the fish as well as the heavy weave of the apron fabric. The composition places emphasis on the culinary subject matter through clean lines and a moody aesthetic.
