So welcome back and thank you so much again for entering this competition. The
response has been amazing, really amazing.
So I've got three I wanted to share with you today. The first one, forgive me if I've
mispronounced your name Marcin.
This is a sort of steak tartar heaven really.
And again it shows all the ingredients. It's beautifully lit, it's quite
complicated. If you were to be at all critical you might say well do you need
three steak tartars on the plate? But I quite like the idea, I like the idea
somehow that there's four people sitting around and you're all about to tuck in.
So i do like this photo and I do like the lighting and i love the
fact that the egg in the middle is direct centre and it really
pings out on the red of the steak, and the steak looks fresh and
it's a goody. So that's our first one.
Our second one is another steak
and again this came in by email
this is a peppery steak.
What i like about this is it's got a lovely sort of mutedness. There's a
slight graininess to it. The use of props is lovely. It's got
a beautiful old board
and a lot of effort has gone into the thinking behind this.
If one was to be at all critical and I hate it, maybe twist it very slightly.
Get the edges straight. There's a funny thing with photography if an edge is completely
not straight that's fine, or if it's straight it's fine but if it's just slightly off. Now our third one, and again
forgive me, I don't know what it is with the selection but names,
the spelling, i hope i pronounce it right, but I believe this is by Chouchane.
This one just has amazing tasteability, I mean chocolate brownies, you know
everyone loves a chocolate brownie.
it's very simply done. Minimal propping, just the plate and the three brownies.
The focus is perfect, it's very much in the right spot, you know,
front here, front here, there's a tendency always to misuse soft focus you know soft
focus doesn't necessarily mean beautiful. You know what you saw was with the steak
shots was
sharp focus and it looked really beautiful.
So sadly again I have to pick someone to go through. It's always so tough and I really
don't like to do it but Chouchane you've gone through on
sheer pickupability really. If you
can say that. It's just that thing, I want to eat those brownies so much.
So well done Chouchane it really is a very sweet, very simple, beautiful photo, well done.
