Description

Two cocktails are the focal point of this still life image. One is a stemmed coupe glass holding a rosy-hued liquid with light bubbles. The second cocktail is in a stemmed glass and is a light yellow color with a white, foamy top, garnished with a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick. In the background, there is a day planner, an old-fashioned calculator, and a wristwatch with a silver band. The lighting is warm and directed, creating strong shadows and highlighting the reflective surfaces of the glassware and metallic objects. The surface is dark, adding to the intimate feel of the photograph.
