Does flash work on a chef's plating in Madrid, or only continuous light?

No, a flash from the front flattens the sauce and the point stops being the one from the pass. Continuous light, from the side, leaves the colour the chef recognises.

No, a flash from the front flattens the sauce and the point stops being the one from the pass. Continuous light, from the side, leaves the colour the chef recognises. Turn the flash off and show the plate to the chef before you continue. In Madrid the flash bleaches the sauce and the chef does not sign the photo. The series is made with continuous light, and the chef recognises the colour.
