| Love, Beauty, Death Series, by Rommert Boonstra |
In the above link, Boonstra stated that his photography deals with things you see out of the corner of your eye, things that disappear when you look straight at them, and things that turn out to be something else when you stare at them more closely. I think the photo above supports this idea. It takes a moment to realize that what is in the palm of a hand is the top to a strarberry. We are not used to seeing a strawberry from this perspective, or pay close attention to the detail and colors on the inside of a strawberry. He has made an interesting composition out of something almost everyone eats. That the strawberry top is in the palm of hand, on top of orange and yellow netting, makes the strawberry top very delicate, precious, and for display. It tricks the viewers mind at first.
I mimicked Boonstra's photo, but used a blueberry cut cleanly in half for my receation. The detail of the blueberry is interesting and makes a beautiful natural design.
it worked?! weird!
