The presented works explore the richness and depth of still-life photography, blending classical and modern approaches. Each photograph is distinguished by its meticulous composition, thoughtful selection of props, and purposeful use of lighting.
The first piece highlights a classical triangular composition with a geometric arrangement, emphasizing textures through intentional design. Rendered in black and white, the photograph brings out the intricate details of vegetable textures, creating a harmonious and elegant visual.
The second photograph, a modern still life, fuses contemporary minimalism with a clear formal aesthetic. The carefully chosen props—a clay vase, a branch, and a single pebble—paired with expressive lighting, create depth and a timeless quality that embodies modernity.
The third photograph, titled „Balance,“ refines the theme of the previous work, conveying tranquility and harmony. The precise arrangement of a dry branch and a single pebble against a white background enhances the visual quality, fostering a harmonious relationship between the elements. This reduction to essentials creates a striking image of stability and, as the title suggests, balance.
The final piece of the series, „Seduction,“ stands out with its symbolic depth. A fish, wrapped in pearls and paired with a luxury magazine, is stripped of its traditional meaning as a living being or food source and becomes a powerful symbol of societal critique. It compellingly addresses consumerism and the manipulative power of the luxury industry.
