Close-up translucent slices of citrus fruits including green limes and red grapefruits illuminated from behind

Kate Mathis, Photographer, New York

About

This macro photographic study features translucent slices of citrus fruits, including large green limes and red grapefruits, interspersed with thin green cucumber ribbons. The composition is lit from behind to emphasize the intricate cellular patterns, segments, and vibrant rind textures of the produce. Bright backlighting creates a glowing, high-key effect that highlights the natural geometry and organic forms within the composition. The vivid greens and deep reds stand out sharply against the bright white luminous backdrop. Captured by photographer Kate Mathis in New York, the image presents a clean and graphic exploration of botanical forms.
