The beloved.
Night, when word's fade.
And things come alive. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
One of my loves in imagery is transparency: And working with ice has given me the chance to explore this. ~Ally.
Another visual feature of my ice pieces is the way the light caresses their slightly uneven surface. The reflections of jewelled light: Such a challenge to capture.
Lighting.
Lighting plays a very important role when photographing these ice pieces with the view to highlighting their transparency and exquisite reflections.
Some of the masters of 'frozen flower art' use light boxes to obtain the back lighting needed for their imagery. Still in the dark ages ~ I love natural lighting. In my next Ten Days of Reflection I'll describe my studio lighting.
