About

This conceptual still life image created by photographer and director Jon Bader features a green apple cut in half horizontally, with the top dome suspended above a tapered leaf section that replaces the bottom half. Both organic elements are thoroughly covered in glistening water droplets, with a single droplet captured mid-fall at the very tip of the leaf. The composition is symmetrically balanced against a seamless, bright white background. Studio lighting creates soft highlights across the damp surfaces, emphasizing the contrasting textures of the apple skin and the prominent veins of the leaf.
