Hai Ngo, Photographer, New York

Description

This still life photograph captures an intimate tabletop arrangement set against a dark, moody background. A polished brass candlestick holds a slender off-white candle, from which a delicate wisp of smoke curls upward into the dim air. Leaning against the base of the candlestick is a small, ornate brass birdcage containing several split pomegranates with exposed ruby-red arils. A single cut pomegranate section rests on the circular wooden surface alongside scattered loose arils. The composition relies on directional lighting to highlight the metallic sheen of the brass objects and the rich textures of the fruit.
