Peony
For a few years, I have been influenced by still life painting in the 16 and 17th centuries.
These paintings express a dreamlike subject by a simple contrast between a dark background and weak light. So I would like to create such illusory images by photo.
In order to make this series, I used an old frame, a subject, a textured cloth, a little light and the handmade background. Then, I also chose a peony for this theme .
The flower gave me an inspiration of elegance and beauty through a lively appearance.
It is not only shooting a real object in front of the camera, but also using imagination and creation and it gives me great pleasure to use photography in this way.
