Still Life ~~ Mushroom Studies
2021 Muse Photography Awards - Gold Award, Abstract. Click here for the Muse Award gallery.
Oyster, lobster, shiitake, and pine mushrooms captured my imagination. My creative vision uses their bizarre and varied shape, alien textures and intricate detail combined with composition and lighting skills to present an abstract view that will engage the art collector's and enthusiast's imagination. Numbering images sequentially allows the viewer to form their own interpretation.
Utilizing the depth and warmth of silver gelatin prints, brings to life the elegant and sensual mushroom images.
I have taken a minimalist presentation against a square black background not to distract from the images powerful poetic voice.
While it has been said that my mushroom images are reminiscent of Edward Weston's "Bell Pepper" series. I continue to develop my own artistic approach with subjects selected based on what speaks to me emotionally. While the artistic style has evolved to echo that of the Group f/64, I continue to experiment with different approaches, presenting new and innovative artwork.
