Beth Galton, Photographer, New York

Description

This food photography piece by New York-based photographer and director Beth Galton features a meticulously sliced cross-section of two distinct ice cream cartons against a stark black background. The carton on the left contains a vanilla base peppered with dark chocolate chunks and cherry pieces, accompanied by a silver spoon holding a small scoop resting beside the container. The carton on the right reveals a rich chocolate ice cream embedded with nuts and confectionery pieces. Both cartons are precisely bisected to expose the internal textures, inclusions, and layers of the frozen treats. The dramatic lighting creates stark highlights and deep shadows, emphasizing the smooth textures of the ice cream and the crisp edges of the cuts.
