Description

This still life photograph features a dark green, ribbed pumpkin resting atop a rough piece of bark against a stark black background. The pumpkin is sliced in half, revealing a warmly illuminated golden interior that glows from within. Dramatic low-key lighting highlights the rich textures of the gourd's skin and the wood beneath it. The intimate composition and moody atmosphere emphasize the sculptural qualities of the subject. Captured by photographer Franck Hamel in Paris.
