Metz + Racine, Photographer, New York

Description

This still life composition photographed by Metz + Racine features an intricate setup inside a large, octagonal white and red architectural frame. In the upper center, a slender brass kinetic arm hangs from a vertical support, suspending a single lit match with a glowing red flame. Below this mobile structure, a smaller brass balance toy holds a square patterned card on one end and a golden sphere on the other. Flanking the lower base are a tall white cylindrical container of matches on the left and a square white scented candle in a wooden saucer on the right. The lighting is clean and directional, casting soft reflections across the polished red surfaces and metallic brass elements. The overall aesthetic is precise, geometric, and minimalist.
