A surreal still life crafted in-studio, where watermelon slices and fresh florals are arranged to form an imagined grove. Built spontaneously and without a sketch, the composition evokes a forest born from fruit; a landscape where flowers grow from flesh and water brings everything to life. Shot with studio flash to enhance the contrast, textures, and sense of wonder. The image captures a playful balance between geometry and spontaneity, freshness and fantasy.

I'm a food and product photographer, stylist, art director and retoucher based in Madrid, working under my personal brand Qosen. I specialise in high-speed, flying and artistic imagery that brings a bold, creative edge to each project. My studio includes a kitchen where I craft visual stories for brands, editorials and campaigns, combining technique, emotion and spontaneity.
