Patrice De Villiers, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking macro photograph captures raw oysters submerged in water, suspended as if caught on a delicate wire hook. Numerous tiny air bubbles and particulate matter drift through the liquid surrounding the textured, earthen-toned shells. The vertical composition emphasizes the organic forms of the marine subject against a luminous, pale background. Natural-looking light illuminates the scene, highlighting the rough contours, ridges, and pearlescent interiors of the open shells. Captured by photographer Patrice De Villiers in Paris, the image presents a detailed study in aquatic still life.
