Lydia Whitmore, Photographer, London

Description

An overhead still life photograph captures a dark, reflective surface arranged with several mystical and culinary items. In the lower right corner, a person's hand with dark nail polish and rings holds a black teacup filled with coffee on a saucer. Nearby, a fan of tarot cards rests next to a raw rose quartz crystal. Towards the upper portion of the frame, a decorative metal Grind coffee tin sits beside an ornate white plate holding a slice of chocolate cake topped with fresh cherries. A small black candle and a fork resting on a saucer complete the arrangement, all captured with dramatic lighting and strong shadows.
