About

This still life photograph by Dwight Eschliman captures a dense pile of small silver and brown dried fish stacked high on a round white ceramic plate. The plate sits centrally on a stark white geometric table surface that slants diagonally across the frame, dividing the composition between a clean white plane and a muted grey vertical backdrop. A few loose fish have fallen off the plate onto the table surface below, casting sharp shadows under precise directional studio lighting. The high-angle framing accentuates the sculptural arrangement of the dried seafood, highlighting the varied metallic sheens and scaly textures of the fish.
