Solo Exhibition of Still-life Photography
25th September 2019
In: September 2019
Just over a year ago, I read an interesting article about a still-life photography technique. It involved using diffused torchlight to illuminate a still-life composition. Each element of the composition is lit separately and all of the elements are combined during post-processing. I was determined to master the technique and to develop my own style and "look".
I made reasonable progress and entered a selection in the 2019 Ludlow Seven photographic contest. This is run by the Photo Space gallery in Ludlow, Shropshire. I was one of the seven winning photographers. I was also judged "Peoples Choice" by visitors to the gallery. A such, I won the chance to hold a solo exhibition at the gallery.
Here's an example of some of the work I will be exhibiting:
You will see that I have a liking for old garden and workshop tools, kitchenalia and interesting fruit and vegetables. I feel that they work well this this technigue.
The exhibition is titled "Brought to Mind" and opens at midday on Saturday 19th October 2019. It will run for about six weeks. The Photo Space Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday 10.30 - 16.30 hrs. The gallery is at 4 Castle St, Ludlow, SY8 1AT. The gallery website is here.
