Clam Bake

This is a New England clam bake; a traditional way of cooking seafood. The food photographed here is  is lobster, steamers, sausage, potatoes and corn.  The first step to cooking this meal is creating a fire  and having it burn on top of rocks until they become scolding hot. After that the ashes are removed and fresh seaweed is placed on top. Following that the potatoes, corn, sausage, steamers and lobster are placed and ready to be cooked. There is a large canvas top spread over top of the food to keep the steam in and cook the food. Once finished everything is removed and ready to be eaten. 

Style

This series of photos was created for an assignment last semester. The purpose of the assignment was to produce photographs that bridge a gap from our own style to the commercial world. The first photograph in this series is the abstract lobster trap, then the close up of the claw and finally the photo that could be used commercially of the lobster.
