Jason Hindley, Photographer, Paris

Description

This still life photograph captures an overhead arrangement of a marble chess board resting on a light wood table. Dark and light chess pieces are positioned across the pink and white checkered surface during an ongoing game. To the right of the board, two fluted glass coupe glasses contain pale beverages with ice, accompanied by small gold jewellery items including a delicate chain bracelet. Strong direct sunlight casts elongated, dramatic shadows across the entire tabletop and board, creating sharp contrasts and warm highlights. Captured by photographer Jason Hindley in Paris, the composition uses natural light to emphasise the tactile qualities of stone, wood, and glass.
