Taka Igarashi, Photographer, London

Description

A close-up studio photograph showcases a crystal old-fashioned glass filled with an amber alcoholic spirit and a single large spherical ice cube. A long-handled silver bar spoon is suspended above the rim of the glass against a dark, minimalist background. The entire scene is dramatically lit from directly beneath the glass, casting a bright, triangular beam of golden light forward onto the surface below. The cut-crystal details of the glassware refract the amber liquid, creating a sharp contrast between the bright highlights at the base and the deep shadows surrounding the upper portion of the composition.
