These shots were for a client in Goa, India and I needed to show that these dishes had a depth and intensity that went beyond the average American food experience.

​

India is a continent where color and celebration go hand in hand. The gorgeous warmth of deep reds, gold and saffron are found in their fabrics and paints, and I wanted to bring some of the same intensity and drama to the food. Shooting against a midnight black background buffered to a deep gray through a neutral base gave me what I was looking for.
