Monochromatic still life with three pear fruit in a wooden bowl. Fine art photography by Edward M. Fielding - www.edwardfielding.com
....
This still life image of fruit in bowl came about with the exploration of texture in black and white photography. It came about over a few years of collecting objects with deep texture, the old worn wooden planks are actually "raccoon" stretchers - a simple plank of wood used in the skinning of raccoon. I found a bunch of them in an old barn reclaiming business in Windsor, Vermont. The wooden bowl is a family heirloom past down through the generations. It was probably hand turned by a family member or family friend. Finishing off the composition is a trio of ripe pears with a beautiful textured skin and gorgeous lighting that has been dodged and burned to bring out the highlights.
The conceptual idea of Modernist photography is look at this, look at how photography interprets the world: through light, lens, glass, film, paper, brain and eye.

Love how you were able to accentuate the scratches in the bowl and the texture of the fruit. NICE!

Edward, the minimalism of the composition allows the textures and tones of this to take center stage in a way that is so pleasing to the eye. This likely would not have been achieved in a color rendition, so excellent choice on the black-and-white!

These minimalist pieces with masterful lighting and tones are my favorites of your work, Edward. Another stunning one.
