Still Life Images
My initial venture into still life photography was in 2004, my transition year when I left the corporate world for the art world. I introduced two still life images to my portfolio, Pear Affair #1 and #2. These images are very sensual and created a variety of interpretations of what people saw in the photographs.
In 2005, I expanded my still life portfolio of images. The exhibition theme for Contact 2005 was 'Truth in Photography'. For this exhibition, I created a series of still life images focusing on pears. The exhibition was called 'Interpretations' and explored people's emotions and feelings with each of the images. The exhibition showed that there is no right or wrong interpretation, but any one image can represent something different for each viewer.
In 2007, Contact's theme was 'Constructed Images'. I introduced three additional still life images that focus on stiletto heels. The combination of the Peace Lily with the stiletto's created a strong suggestion of eroticism.
