Maisie Cousins, Photographer, London

Description

A close-up still life photograph captured by Maisie Cousins features a collection of small everyday objects arranged on a highly reflective, glossy dark surface. A whole peanut with textured shell rests alongside a green olive pierced by a wooden toothpick and a used cigarette butt with burnt ash. The composition is viewed from a sharp top-down perspective, distorted and refracted through curved transparent glass elements that stretch across the frame. The color palette contrasts deep blues and blacks with warm tones of brown, orange, and olive green. The lighting highlights the tactile details of the varied textures, from the rough peanut pod to the smooth, oily surface of the olive.
