It’s that time of year again…when the spirit world rises and dresses for the part. This is my version of Trick or Treat; no candy will be given out.
Images shot using a Sony A7II camera and some postproduction using Photoshop…comments can be sent to nymacc@gmail.com
There is a time when conscious meets the unconscious in the realm of photography. This blog post is what you might consider photographic doodling while sitting in front of a blank computer screen. The images were created over a period of days when creative boredom was casting its long shadows.
I have no explanation for why I have weaved various photos into this unconscious assembly of images. Psychologically maybe the images represent the distortions of my mood or feelings during this particular period. Then it just might be an unconscious doodling into photographic fantasy and surrealism that the viewer can interpret as they see fit.
All the images were created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I can be contacted at nymacc@gmail.com.
In this post I view the Bell Pepper from within, through a series of photographs focused on the inside after it has been cut up for a salad. There is a certain alien like landscape that presents itself. So this is my Zen portrait of several different peppers.
All photos shot using a Sony A7II camera with window light and a portable LED light for accenting pepper center seeds. You can leave comments at nymacc@gmail.com
Broccoli, a child’s vegetable nightmare. You can roast it, broil it, fry it, steam it; but it still tastes like broccoli.
While I am a fan of eating this veggie, I have also found its shape at times resembling a surreal tree worthy of photographic exploration. So, this post is devoted to the many shapes of broccoli.
I do have a fondness for still life photography. It is sort of like painting, you have a blank canvas before you, that you build upon one object at a time until the final subject is completed.
Still life photography unlike other types of photography that we are all familiar with like street, landscape or flowers…in still life you control the creation of the image. You choose the subject, arrange it and light it anyway to your choosing. You really have complete control of the creative process. which is a reaffirmation of your composition and lighting skills…and can also be a learning process as you work through building the image.
In this series of still life images I have chosen to include books in a series of images. Because I am using other objects along with the book arrangements, it sometimes become questionable, is it the books or the accessory object that are the main subject? However, in this series of images it really doesn’t matter because the images are left to the viewer to decide what within the image draws their attention. I prefer to follow a minimal approach with not too many objects in the image. The main lighting for most of the images is early morning window light with sometimes a small handheld portable light to highlight an area, this combined with a black background to produce a Rembrandt style image.
