Dane Tashima, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical studio photograph by Dane Tashima features a carefully shaped bonsai tree as its primary subject. The tree has delicate green needle foliage along arched branches and an exposed root structure emerging from dark soil. It sits inside a shallow, oval grey ceramic pot, which rests upon a slatted dark brown wooden tabletop. Coiled training wire and pruning shears lie on the table beside the pot. The background consists of a creased white fabric drop, illuminated by soft, even lighting that highlights the textures of the wood, ceramic, and plant life.
