Inner and Outer Beauty

There is an amazing contrast between the cool, shimmering tones of a king salmon’s scales and the fiery blush of their muscles. The color comes from carotenoids—the same pigmented molecules that color tomatoes, carrots, and squash—in krill and other creatures that the salmon eats while at sea.

About Artist

Nathan Myhrvold

Nathan Myhrvold is photographer, chef, scientist, and author. As the former chief technology officer of Microsoft, Myhrvold embraces the power of technology to push photographic limits. He and his team build custom cameras, robotics, and software to capture the world in new ways.

He is the founder of Modernist Cuisine, author of The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, and coauthor of Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, Modernist Cuisine at Home, Modernist Bread, and Modernist Pizza.
