Laurie Raab, Prop Stylist, Los Angeles

Description

A close-up commercial still life photograph features four open lipstick tubes arranged in a staggered composition against a smooth gradient background that shifts from pale pink at the top to deep purple at the bottom. The metallic silver cylindrical bases of the tubes support the shaped cosmetic products, which range in color from soft pastel pink and dusty mauve to vibrant violet and dark plum. The lipstick bullets are cleanly cut with slanted application tips, and the embossed letters of a brand logo are faintly visible along the side of the purple tube. Soft, even studio lighting highlights the glossy sheen of the wax surfaces and the reflective metallic casings. The composition centers the group of products with shallow depth of field, keeping the background softly out of focus.
