This still life is about baking an apple pie. All the products on the table are needed to bake this cake. I put the whole composition in such a way that it gives the impression that the person who makes this cake has forgotten something and had to leave the table (an egg escaping from a pile of flour). Through the appropriate saturation of colors and the softness of daylight falling through the window, I wanted to reach the viewer's senses. I would like you to feel the smell of apples, cinnamon, butter and vanilla when looking at this photo....

My oranges are supposed to enjoy the memory of sweetness and a slight hint of acidity, the scent of essential oils that come out when we press the peel. Orange - sweet, juicy, with intense color. In religious painting, it appears in the scenes of original sin, where it is a "substitute" for the apple tree, and in the representations of the heavenly garden. The white orange flowers symbolized virgin purity, which is why in the Middle Ages they were attributed to Mary. The fruits complement the tree itself, and its seeds were seen as the seeds of a new plant...

Inspired by my fish images, and because I hate wasting food. I have smoked and prepared the fishes for consuming. I decided to close the circle on the fish story. and show all stages of it. Still Life with fish and lemon, 2021 Still Life with Smoked Fish, 2021 The freshly smoked fish is beautiful and delicious. Smoking in birch smoke almost magically turns their structure from cold, wet silver into hot gold. Looking at the photo of these fish taken out of the smokehouse, we should smell the appetizing hot meat sprinkled with lemon, and the fingers should feel the collagen...

Today I decided to work with the composition and chiaroscuro according to the rules of the Flemish Baroque masters of the brush. I have choosen a painting one by Harmen Steenwijck from 1646.

Today's photos are inspired by the works of the Spanish painter of still lifes from the 18th century Luis Melendez (1716-1780) His mastery of composition and light, and remarkable ability to convey the volume and texture of individual objects enabled him to transform the most mundane of kitchen fare into powerful images, and Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin (2 November 1699 - 6 December 1779) was an 18th-century French painter. He is considered a master of still life, he is also known for his genre paintings that depict maids, children, and household activities. His work is characterized by a carefully balanced...

I start my tests with the reconstruction and analisis of composition of Willem Heda still life painting. I am using my office wall and window for this test - using only one natural light source. I am still not 100% happy with the result. I like the light and how it hits the subjects, but I feel like I still need to work on the composition I tried few different views and perspectives to be as close to the original painting as possible. I finally settled for the 3rd perspective and coposition as I feel it is closest to the...

What is a portfolio? A simple question. Portfolio is a collection of our best works that we show to people interested in our achievements. And here we have the catch in the word "the best". What makes these our best works? Usually, we choose them ourselves and that's why we get photos that meet three criteria: The photos we are most satisfied with.
