Kelly McCloskey's [photography set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) entitled 'Egpyt' manages to capture some of the most beautiful and creative aspects of mundane things, like buildings or a chair.

The images are colorful and fun to look at, which is difficult to say when taking pictures in a [desert where everything](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection) is relatively the same color. The colors of the fabrics leaning against the wall, for example, or the [mural on a building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) with a camel's shadow, are perfectly captured. Kelly McCloskey must have had an amazing experience.
