A whole black pineapple with a single vertical slice removed exposing bright yellow flesh against a dark grey background

Richard Pullar, Photographer, London

About

This striking still life photograph by Richard Pullar features a whole pineapple with a dark, charred or painted black exterior set against a muted grey background. A clean vertical wedge has been sliced from the side, revealing the vibrant, contrasting yellow fruit inside. The composition is illuminated with soft directional lighting that accentuates the rough, textured diamond pattern of the pineapple skin and the smooth interior flesh. The minimalist setup focuses entirely on the textural interplay between the dark outer husk and the bright inner pulp. The resulting image combines bold monochromatic tones with a vivid flash of natural colour.
