Purpose and Atmosphere

Lighting that Inspiring Atmosphere

This composition of some old kitchen books is illuminated by a single, highly diffused beam of light. A beam of light sufficient to reveal some details and leave the rest disappearing into the shadows. The idea was to highlight the rediscovery of a treasure trove of valuable and forgotten information from centuries ago between the covers of these books. The open pages direct the eye to the back surface of the image.

- Still Life Unprepared

Clever photographers know how to discover powerful and important images in the context of everyday life. I found this powerful and colorful composition - the first image on the opposite page in a phone booth in Vancouver, Canada.

Using montage in the image

The composition on the opposite page, the second image, was created specifically for a magazine specializing in jewelry, gems and goldsmiths. The woman was first photographed in black and white and then drawn on matte paper because the matte surface helps avoid reflections. I placed the jewelry on the enlarged image and then took a color photo for this montage with indirect lighting to avoid shadows under the jewelry.

Subjects everywhere

Unstaged still life is everywhere. For this type of image I reduced the exposure to half an aperture to give the colors sharpness. (Leicaflex Actachrom HS)
