Kirk McKoy I believe this photo is stunning due to its elegant use of black and white contrast, which accentuates the intricate shapes and clear lines of the glassware. Precisely positioned, the striped background creates dynamic reflections and refractions, adding depth and complexity to the composition. The symmetry and balance of the arrangement is enhanced by its visual appeal, making it both captivating and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
I intend to express the richness, depth and vastness of life through the black and white in still life. Several glass vessels with various shapes create a striking contrast under the refraction of the background light panel.The cups filled with water appear black and white reversed, while the cups without water outline the light edges. The upside-down one filled with water add a touch of mystery! Black and white complement each other, and the high contrast gives people a sense of heaviness.
