Zoe Ghertner, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photograph by Zoe Ghertner in New York presents a striking close-up of a calla lily flower coated in a glossy, reflective dark substance. A single droplet hangs suspended from the pointed tip of the bloom, creating a dramatic sense of stillness and form. The delicate stem extends horizontally to the left, anchored by the organic curve of the spathe. The composition is set against a stark, high-key white background that accentuates the smooth contours and high-contrast tonal gradients across the surface. The soft lighting defines the rich textures and liquid sheen, resulting in a minimalist yet powerful botanical study.
