Description

This still life photograph by Thomas De Monaco in Paris presents an artistic culinary composition on a clean white surface. An open raw oyster cradles a delicate cluster of slender mushrooms sprouting from its center. Surrounding the oyster are organic elements including a large dark green leaf with a textured stem, a golden chanterelle mushroom, a small sliced mushroom cap, and a curled purple onion ring. The arrangement is captured from directly above with even, soft lighting that highlights the varied natural textures of the seafood and fungi.
