Emily Hawkes, Photographer, New York

About

This vivid still life image captured by photographer Emily Hawkes in New York presents a close-up composition of a hand cradling a sliced nectarine. The fruit reveals a bright yellow interior while clear juice visibly drips from the fingertips and palm. The hand features long, pointed fingernails finished with a vibrant red manicure. The subject is set against an unbroken, saturated coral red background that creates a striking monochromatic color scheme. The lighting is bright and clean, casting sharp highlights across the wet surfaces and skin.
