Sweet Raspberry Donuts by Keshia Sophia

Sweet Raspberry Donuts by Keshia Sophia

As a child I loved nothing more than a warm, jam donut from our local bakery. What I remember most is the warm, fluffy texture of the fresh dough mixed with the sweet explosion of raspberry jam. The magic is in the filling which is what I wanted to capture in this photograph. What stood out for me was the combination of textures in the donuts, so I used natural light and a shallow focus to highlight this.

The west of Ireland is known for its fresh seafood. Salmon is my absolute favourite catch of the day, if anything for the colour. We love cooking with fresh fish in our home but there is something to be said for appreciating the beauty of a food in its raw form. With Salmon, the simplest ingredients work best and I wanted to capture this sentiment in the photography. I chose to use a natural light that would gently skim across the surface of the fillet to better showcase its freshness. The addition of a little dill and salt better accentuated the clean texture of the fish.

I wanted to experiment with negative space by focusing on food with bold colours. I love blueberries but they are rarely given the starring role. Having just come out of the freezer, the moisture of the skin gave a beautiful sheen when caught in the natural light. I used only white backgrounds to highlight the subject. The macro lens allowed for the delicious textures to shine through in perfect compliment to the white surroundings. A real statement piece.
