Ian Loring Shiver, Photographer, New York

Description

This top-down still life photograph by Ian Loring Shiver captures a vibrant game of pool on a classic green felt billiards table. A tightly clustered triangular rack of colorful numbered pool balls sits in the lower portion of the frame alongside three vertically aligned balls above. Two clear glass tumblers filled with an amber-colored liquid flank the upper section of the composition, casting soft shadows under direct overhead lighting. The rich textures of the felt cloth and the glossy surfaces of the billiard balls create a high-contrast graphic arrangement.
