Kate Mathis, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking macro food photography composition features an open oyster shell resting atop a textured base, holding a smooth, perfectly rounded translucent gel sphere. Golden syrup or liquid drips down from the sphere and over the shell's edge, catching the light. Two hairy, dark rambutan fruits are positioned on either side of the oyster base. The entire arrangement sits on a highly reflective, glossy surface that creates a clear mirrored reflection below. Soft directional lighting casts gentle shadows and highlights the various textures of the shell, rough base, sticky liquid, and fibrous fruit skins against a pale purple gradient background.
