Liza Nelson, Set Designer, Los Angeles

Description

An overhead compositional photograph captures a pattern of colorful pencil shavings scattered across a solid yellow backdrop, accompanied by a single yellow pencil in the lower right corner. The lighting casts distinct, sharp shadows beneath each curled shaving, creating a sense of depth and tactile realism. The composition utilizes negative space at the bottom to balance the geometric scatter of wood and graphite curls. Designed by set designer Liza Nelson in Los Angeles, the image exhibits a clean, graphic aesthetic with warm, saturated color grading.
