Totally arrived at a different destination than I had intended on this one but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Very often as a photographer you set out with a specific plan in mind, but then a completely unexpected solution presents itself and you just have to go with it.
Maybe I don't dislike still life as much as I thought I would. I don't mind the process - I just don't like having an endless stream of THINGS around that is always so necessary when propping and styling still life images.
Minimal photoshop here - minor curves adjustments to enhance contrast but otherwise this is SOOC.
