Julia Stotz, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This overhead still life photograph by Julia Stotz captures a relaxed indoor scene featuring a game of chess played on a blue carpet. A person wearing dark jeans and a mustard-yellow sweater rests beside the chessboard, with their hands positioned near the edge of the frame. Two glasses of amber-colored whiskey sit on coasters alongside a square checkerboard with black and white pieces. Several loose playing pieces are scattered across the blue textured surface, accompanied by a distinctive rectangular glass bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label whiskey casting a shadow. The lighting is warm and directional, creating clear shadows from the objects and highlighting the rich textures of the carpet, the glass, and the wood.
