Colorful translucent soap blocks and slabs arranged in a backlit display tray by Cihan Oncu in Istanbul.

Cihan Öncü, Photographer, Istanbul

About

This still life photograph by Istanbul-based photographer Cihan Oncu features an array of colorful, translucent soap blocks and rectangular slabs. The objects are arranged inside and around a dark tray, with key pieces illuminated from below to highlight their internal textures and vibrant hues. Various shades of orange, red, green, blue, and deep purple create a rich palette of contrasting tones and semi-opaque materials. The composition captures the smooth, glossy surfaces and mottled patterns embedded within the solid soap formations. Soft, diffused lighting enhances the translucent quality of the pieces against a clean background.
