Photograph of a plated seared salmon fillet on a white ceramic plate, crisp skin facing up, a spoon of herb sauce dragged across the plate, a few microgreens. Three-quarter view from above, soft daylight from the side, the flakes of the fish visible where the fillet is cut.

Photograph of a negroni in a heavy rocks glass over one large clear ice cube, an orange peel twist on the rim, condensation on the outside of the glass. Bar top with a dark background, one warm light from the side catching the colour of the liquid, shallow depth of field.

Close-up photograph of a sourdough loaf torn open by hand, steam still coming off the crumb, the open structure irregular with a glossy interior and a dark blistered crust. Side light from a window, flour on the board, shallow depth of field.

Close-up photograph of espresso falling from a portafilter into a clear glass cup on a marble counter, the crema breaking into ribbons as it lands, a single droplet suspended in mid-air above the surface. Strong backlight through the glass, condensation beading on the outside, shallow depth of field.
