Title: Light Wine 📱📷
The photograph presents a view of a single wine glass illuminated by fixed multipoint LED lighting.
The view is down toward a partially visible glass of red wine, a slice of about one tenth of the width of the glass. Shadow in the glass outlines the bowl shape with dark lines. Red light ripples from the outlines in evenly spaced red wavelets.
Edges of the bowl of the glass create lines of shadow. The oval shape of the bowl repeats in similar dark wavelets radiating outward across the countertop from a dark cavern or deep abyss beneath the glass.
The surprise seems to be a wine clear enough to allow light to pass through multiple times. The liquid itself behaved as a lense with the wine-to-glass interface becoming a mirror. Refraction, reflection, and interference appear between the wine surface, the curved interior glass surfaces, the thick base of the stemless glass, and the light color of the wine. It creates the shadows and uneven embossed effects across parts of the countertop.
Everything (camera, glassware, countertop, and lighting) is stationary. The mix of multiple layers, shaped surfaces, and varied air space between the glass surfaces results in overlayed shadows and refractions. It paints an artificially swirling two-dimensional landscape of light, umbras, and penumbras across the countertop.
