Malte Jäger, Photographer, Berlin

Description

This close-up food photography shot by Berlin-based photographer Malte Jäger captures a set of hands actively slicing into a fibrous celeriac root. The subject is placed on a rustic wooden cutting board that shows natural grain and texture. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, casting deep shadows while highlighting the textured roots and the gleaming metal of the knife blade. The shallow depth of field keeps the sharp focus entirely on the hands and the moment of the cut against a dark background.
