Opening my Summer gallery again at GeoGalleries

Published by

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!

Sunflowers backside, 2023.

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

    Pictures like this one remind me of negatives and also of x-rays.

      That reminds me of a meme I see on Facebook once on a while: “ I used to want to look good in pictures when I was young. Now at my age all I want is to look good in x rays and ultra sounds. “

    I’d say you succeeded especially well with this photo. My first thought was that the various tones were shades of gray, and then I realized that there’s nothing about this that has the (often boring) appearance of gray. Instead, the flower seems to be composed of various densities of light.
