Painterly

www.polinaplotnikova.com

Photography has many facets. What is of particular interest to me personally is the link of photography as an art form to one of its direct predecessor - the art of painting.
This panel is devoted to still life. In some way, dealing with this kind of subject matter is as close to painting as a photographer can get. Just like many painters throughout history have done before you, you choose the objects , the setting, the composition; you use the colours, the textures, the light. Modern technology equips you with some amazing tools that the artists of the past could not even dream of - but the main task is essentially the same: to draw the viewer in, so that they can share your vision and tune into the emotions that you are trying to convey.
