Philippe Lacombe, Photographer, Paris

Description

This commercial product photograph by Philippe Lacombe features a classic Chanel No 5 perfume bottle filled with amber liquid, positioned diagonally against a solid black background. A square gold cap embossed with the number 5 and a small red lipstick are arranged near the top right of the bottle. The shot employs dramatic, low-key lighting that creates soft specular highlights along the glass edges and facets. The composition captures the iconic bottle from a slightly elevated angle, emphasizing its geometric silhouette and transparent stopper. The clean, dark setting highlights the rich tones of the fragrance and the metallic accents of the accessories.
