Katie Thompson, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This close-up photographic composition features a round pan of pressed silver powder with a section broken away, trailing a streaked path of shimmering particles and fine dust across a stark black surface. The high-contrast lighting accentuates the textured grain and metallic sheen of the cosmetic pigment as it drifts outward. Captured by photographer Katie Thompson in Los Angeles, the macro-style arrangement highlights the tactile qualities of the makeup product. The vertical orientation centers the dynamic impact of the dispersing powder against the dark, neutral backdrop.
