Turkey and Raspberry, by Bashar Alaeddin

These two ingredients are one of my top favorite, and being a food photographer on a day off, I made a sandwich at home and just before I began to eat it, it occurred to me to photograph it. I literally drove took the sandwich and a few more as back up and drove to my studio in Amman, Jordan to photograph it. I decided on this angle in the end from 100’s of different set ups as it shows the perfect sauce but also the meati-ness of the turkey to make anyone’s mouth water, I hope.
