This time I would like to share what I encountered at home in the kitchen and praise the act of playing with simple objects that I see almost every day. I like how ordinary things can look different when they are placed in another way or when I change the light and the angle. It always feels like I am discovering something new, establishing a new communication.
The first photographs are focused on a single egg. It is such a simple object, but its shape and small spots make it interesting to look at. I tried to keep the scene clean and similar in color so the attention stays only on the egg. The soft shadows and repeated outlines give a feeling that the object is moving, trembling even though it is completely still. May be the life with in is radiating outwards.
The spoon became another important part of this series. I enjoyed placing the egg inside it and also letting it come out from the edge of the spoon. The black spoon against the light background creates a strong contrast, while the repeated shadows make the composition feel more alive. I like how the spoon changes from being just a kitchen tool into something that almost looks like a stage for the egg.
I also continued using the repeated shadow effect because I feel it gives the images a sense of movement and depth. It has become something I enjoyed exploring.
Another small setup is made with a ceramic plate that looks like a clock. Around it, I placed olive seeds with one olive not eaten. The clock hands in the middle made me think about daily routines and how food is connected to time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the small moments in between all follow their own rhythm. I like olive a lot and I can eat it all day long :)
Working on these photographs reminded me that I do not always need unusual subjects. A spoon, an egg, an olive, or a few olive seeds are enough to spend an afternoon experimenting. I moved them little by little, changed the camera position, and watched how every small change affected the final image. Sometimes the smallest adjustment completely changed the feeling of the photograph.
These are some of the past experiments. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Thank you for stopping by.
All the best...
