Maisie Cousins is known for her hyperreal, close-up images of life – in particular her shots of flesh, fruit, and various glistening foodstuffs. As CR contributor Gem Fletcher has written: “Maisie Cousins’ work redefines femininity, celebrating the elements of the female form that most photographers airbrush away. Each frame is a visceral trip. Her images equally seduce and repulse, in all the right ways.”

This particular shot was taken while Cousins was in Covid lockdown and features the fruit-covered face and hands of her daughter Bobbie. “There wasn’t much stimulus going on in my life,” says Cousins of the image. “Luckily, she provided some inspiration for creativity for me.”
