Graeme Montgomery, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking macro still life photograph by photographer Graeme Montgomery features an iridescent beetle resting on the surface of a round Terracotta bronzer compact. The compact is partially illuminated by a warm, directional light source, casting a clean shadow across the powdered surface which bears embossed branding. An iridescent beetle with shimmering green, blue, and copper tones clings to the edge of the powder. The dark, minimalist background emphasizes the rich textures and metallic sheen of both the insect and the cosmetic object. The composition highlights precise detail and controlled lighting characteristic of high-end commercial still life photography.
