Claire Benoist, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking still life photograph by Claire Benoist presents an unusual pairing of a lustrous white pearl necklace draped elegantly over a pale green chayote squash. The textured, mottled skin of the squash contrasts sharply with the uniform, glossy spheres of the pearls. A slender pin or needle pierces the top of the squash, securing a cluster of the pearls in place. The composition is set against a deep, dark black background that absorbs light and makes the subject pop with high contrast. Crisp, directional lighting highlights the subtle contours of the squash and the smooth sheen of the pearls.
