Creative ice cubes

Cultivating Conversations | Edition 17 →

When still life photography is done well, it’s nothing short of captivating. Slick, glossy and often indecipherable in terms of how it has been achieved, it’s subtle and incredibly satisfying. It’s in this space that London-based photographer, Catherine Losing’s work sits. Although her practice spans more than just still lifes (increasingly including moving image as of late), perfectly composed collections of objects are a personal favourite of hers – and ours too.

This image features a 335ml silver can tilted slightly, with peach and cucumber colors and imagery. It includes realistic ice cubes, sliced peaches, cucumber, and thyme floating in an abstract space, captured in hyper realistic style with a 50mm lens on a Canon 1DX camera. The aspect ratio is 9:16.

If you're stuck at home and in search of a photography project, try freezing flowers and shooting beautiful still life images of them.
