Tim Flach, Photographer, London

About

This striking studio photograph by Tim Flach captures the intricate details and vibrant coloration of a blue Siamese fighting fish. The subject is centrally framed against a solid black background, emphasizing its complex scale pattern and the dramatic, elongated movement of its fins. Deep blue and iridescent purple hues shimmer across the textured surface of the fins, creating a sense of fluid motion frozen in time. The lighting is tightly focused to highlight the delicate translucency of the fin rays and the rich textural quality of the scales. Subtle red accents appear along the lower fins, providing a sharp chromatic contrast.
