Still life arrangement of dried botanical elements, mushrooms, and a bone fragment on a wooden block against a dark background

Matthew Chaves, Photographer, New York

About

This vertical still life composition by photographer Matthew Chaves features a curated arrangement of organic objects resting on a wooden tabletop and block. A central wooden pillar serves as a display surface, topped by a small bright orange mushroom and flanked by a tall, slender dried plant stem with a seed pod. Additional natural specimens include a curved mushroom cap revealing gills, an animal bone fragment, and a smaller patterned toadstool resting on the surface. Directional lighting casts crisp, defined shadows, emphasizing the rich textures and earthy tones of the wood, fungi, and botanical elements against a warm, neutral background.
