Maisie Cousins, Photographer, London

Description

This close-up photographic still life by photographer Maisie Cousins captures an organic arrangement of whole mushrooms and small larvae spilling forth from an upturned metal tin. The subjects rest upon a glossy, textured orange surface that fills the frame with warm, saturated tones. Harsh, direct lighting catches the glistening surfaces of the fungi and insects, creating sharp highlights and defined shadows. The composition highlights contrasting textures between the metallic can, the smooth mushroom caps, and the creeping forms of the maggots.
