Keate, Photographer, New York

Description

This macro photograph by Keate captures a close-up composition of crushed cosmetic powder cakes in contrasting shades of black and silver. The fragments feature a mixture of matte finishes with textured grid patterns and highly reflective, shimmering metallic surfaces. Sharp lighting casts distinct shadows between the broken pieces, emphasizing the granular texture and depth of the makeup. The monochromatic palette highlights the interplay of light and shadow across the jagged edges of the pressed powder.
