Dried brown oak leaf branch casting a sharp shadow on a clean white background

Beth Galton, Photographer, New York

About

This still life photograph by Beth Galton features a single dried brown oak leaf branch resting against a clean white background. Hard directional light casts a distinct, dramatic shadow of the botanical subject across the surface, emphasizing its organic forms. The composition is stark and minimalist, focusing on the textures of the withered foliage and the slender, curving stem. The clean lighting creates a strong contrast between the physical subject and its shadow silhouette.
