About the photo

I had the pleasure of capturing a captivating image of the dry-aged Kansas City steak served at Oscar's Steakhouse in downtown Las Vegas. The steak had a rich, brown exterior, achieved through the dry-aging process, with a slightly charred edge that added texture and flavor. The interior was a deep pink or red, depending on the desired doneness, with visible marbling throughout.

To enhance the steak's texture and color, I used lighting that highlighted its juiciness and tenderness. The steak was served with delectable sides, however, I wanted to put the cut of meat center stage to make it look as if the viewer was sitting right in front of the steak. The photograph also captured the vintage Vegas charm and stunning views of the Strip that Oscar's Steakhouse is famous for.

Overall, I was thrilled with the visually stunning photograph that showcased the quality and flavor of the steak. It's a must-try for anyone craving a succulent steak. It is sure a "cut"-above the rest!
