Most of the times, this dish is served with all the ingredients sticking out from the the bottom of the duck. It is definitely delicious but visually not appealing. Hence I have decided to photograph the traditional Cantonese dish with a more graphic feel. We have decided to display the EIGHT significant ingredients of the dishes outwardly on separate dishes instead of stuffing and mixing it all up in the interior of the duck. After all, these are the real imperial ingredients that make the dish. 
I was briefed that one of the dishes that I had to photograph with the famous Suckling Pig. This is a very delicious dish but when I google online to find relevant photos, all of them looks so morbid and the dish looks so scary with the bloated roasted pig looking so shiny and oily.  Hence I discuss with my client and he is open to the idea of a leaner version of the dish with a western touch to the dish despite its Oriental origin. We adopted a setting that is Advant Garde and yet it is traditional.
Strawberries are not just pretty to look at. They are also a high source of anti-oxidant and supposedly good for the brain. So I guess this tray of salad is a yes yes as it is just oozing with vitamins and nutrition.

Styled by a cooking talent, Kwek Keyuan, I am sure this dish will bring lots of joy to little children who have very little interest in food. As an adult, I feel drawn to want to eat this too.
 
The British bulldog is often portrayed as a fierce guard dog. However since this is to promote hotdogs for kids, I had to draw a cute bull dog with huge innocent looking eyes so as to entice the little children to have their snacks.
 
Death of a tomato. Its sacrifice gives us nutrition. I wonder when I die, will I be of use to anyone?
