Alicia Taylor, Photographer, London

About

A dark, moody still life arrangement is meticulously composed on a textured slate slab, captured by London-based photographer Alicia Taylor. The tabletop features an array of natural botanicals, including dried roots beneath a glass cloche, fresh olive branches in glass bottles, a stone mortar and pestle filled with herbs, and a glass goblet containing a pale orange liquid. Small ceramic dishes hold dried leaves, spices, and roots, while soft directional lighting creates deep shadows and highlights the rich textures of wood, stone, and glass. The backdrop consists of draped dark fabric, enhancing the earthy and organic atmosphere of the composition.
