Malte Jäger, Photographer, Berlin

Description

This close-up editorial photograph by Berlin-based photographer Malte Jäger captures a pair of hands using a chef knife to slice into a fresh head of red cabbage. The cabbage is halved, revealing its intricate concentric purple and white leaf patterns. The shot employs a shallow depth of field, keeping the focus sharp on the knife blade and the textured layers of the vegetable while the background remains softly blurred. Natural directional light casts gentle highlights across the polished metal blade and the glossy vegetable surfaces, creating a moody and intimate culinary scene.
