Welcome to the warmest season worldwide!
To celebrate summer, I am opening my transient gallery “SUMMER,” where all images are available for purchase in both paper and metal in standard print sizes.
While I love portraying botanicals in high-contrast black and white on black background, summer calls for lighter tones. This season, I will focus on high-key photography.
Producing black and white photographs on a black background effectively emphasizes light and contrast, as shown in several of my previous posts. In contrast, highlighting light in high-key photography is challenging and can often be counterproductive. High-key images create a dreamy atmosphere, emphasizing shape, form, and detail, often appearing more abstract and unreal.
The FEATURED PHOTOGRAPH, repeated below for convenience, is an experiment in both botanical and abstract photography. It’s a high-key version and a composite of sunflower petals with a texture added to it. The entire collection is dedicated to sunflowers, a happy symbol of the summer!

Wishing you all a fun, light-filled summer with plenty of rest!
