with and without oysters

photo: Philip Ficks

Doing the photo shoot for my website was a lot of fun.  I asked our food stylist, Vivian Lui, if she would bring oysters to prop this particular platter.  I love oysters.  And the platter's glaze reminds me of the color of seaweed, so I thought oysters would be perfect.  With Philip's dark, moody lighting it makes this shot look quite glamorous.  End the end I chose the shot without the oysters for my website, but I still love this image and wanted to share it.
