Greg Marino, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical commercial product photograph features a single tube of dark red lipstick as the central hero subject. The lipstick case is metallic silver with a polished reflective finish. The bullet of lipstick is a deep burgundy red with a flat slanted tip. Behind the product, large sheets of heavy white paper are curled into dramatic sculptural loops, creating a gradient of highlights and deep shadows ranging from pure white to charcoal grey. The lighting is clean and directional, casting soft shadows and accentuating the curved planes of the paper backdrop. The composition is sharply focused on the lipstick product in the foreground, captured by photographer Greg Marino in New York.
