Description

A still life food arrangement features a stack of ingredients in a studio setting. Green olives top a chunk of yellow cheese, followed by a white garlic bulb with a long stem. Underneath the garlic, a head of romaine lettuce sits atop a white egg. The composition is lit with a warm, diffused light, creating shadows and highlights on the food items. The background is a series of vertical color blocks in mustard yellow, brown, and terra cotta, which provide contrast to the cool colors of the food. The surface the items rest on is a neutral grey, with a hint of yellow in the lower corner.
