Fredrik Brodén, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking still life photograph by Fredrik Broden features a fresh watermelon cut into separate sections and displayed on a textured concrete surface. A whole round dark green watermelon section rests beside a sliced half, which reveals its vibrant red flesh and white rind. A small wooden-handled pocket knife is stabbed vertically into the middle of the sliced watermelon fruit, casting a distinct shadow on the ground below. The composition employs hard natural lighting that accentuates the organic textures of the fruit and the gritty concrete background. The overhead angle creates a graphic, high-contrast visual arrangement typical of editorial food and object photography.
