Dane Tashima, Photographer, New York

Description

This still life photograph captures a moody, arranged tabletop scene featuring a dark incense burner with wisps of delicate smoke rising from it. Surrounding the burner are scattered props including a dark green glass vessel, a small perfume bottle, dark grapes on the vine, a string of blue beads, loose flower petals, and a ribbed gold lighter in the foreground. The arrangement is set against a dark, textured surface with low-key lighting that creates deep shadows and highlights the various textures of glass, metal, stone, and organic elements. Photographed by Dane Tashima in New York, the composition balances classical still life elements with a contemporary, atmospheric mood.
