About

A vertical still life photograph features a single, heavily crumpled transparent plastic bottle centered against a dark grey background. The lighting catches the complex facets, folds, and creases of the distorted plastic container, creating sharp highlights and deep shadows across its surface. The composition is clean and focused solely on the sculptural form of the discarded object. The lighting is precise, emphasizing the translucent qualities and sharp angles of the crushed material. The photograph was created by photographer Dan Tobin Smith.
