Sparkling Wine Flute With Rising Bubbles Still Life Photography
Tiny Bubbles Beside A Sweeping Dark Bottle Curve
The smallest details bring movement to this spare studio photograph. Fine bubbles rise through pale golden sparkling wine in a slender flute, while the sweeping edge of a dark bottle crosses the composition. I used a deep black background and controlled reflections to make the glass, liquid and bottle read as a few distinct shapes.
Studio still lifes are a small part of my collection, which usually grows from travelling and exploring with a camera. Here I could slow down and adjust the arrangement rather than respond to a passing scene. The bubbles supplied the changing element within a composition I could otherwise control.
A horizontal band marks the wine’s surface. Below it, individual points of light appear inside the glass, small enough that they become clearer as you move closer. The larger bottle curve has a different rhythm: smooth, continuous and outlined by a narrow highlight. I like the contrast between that strong contour and the scattered detail in the liquid.
The warm gold gives depth to the surrounding black without filling the frame with colour. At a distance, the photograph reads through its clean curves and dark space; closer viewing reveals transparency and the tiny rising bubbles. That shift in scale is what holds my attention. In a dining space or bar, it offers a recognisable wine subject whose character comes from light and a subtle sense of motion.

About My Fine Art Photography
Every photograph in my collection comes from my own travels, explorations, and years behind the camera.
I create my work as photographic art rather than mass-produced decoration. From street portraits and abandoned places to landscapes, architecture, and the unusual subjects I discover along the way, each image begins with something that made me stop and look.
My photographs are available in multiple sizes so the same image can work in anything from an intimate wall space to a large statement installation.
