Martyn Thompson, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

Three round, golden-brown jelly doughnuts dusted with powdered sugar and centered with dollops of dark red jam rest inside a large, weathered dark metal bowl. The bowl is set upon a dark, mottled slate surface scattered with small fragments and debris, creating a moody and tactile composition. Directional lighting casts soft shadows across the metallic interior and highlights the soft texture of the baked goods. The overhead framing emphasizes the arrangement of the pastries within the rustic vessel. Martyn Thompson captures the still life with an atmospheric and painterly aesthetic.
