A Touch of Glamour
“Jewellery has the power to be the one little thing that makes you unique” – Elizabeth Taylor (British/American actress)
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 23rd of September is “two times two”. In the last two years, I have been exploring a new avenue in my photographic creativity, that of portraiture photography. I used a somewhat illusive sitter for several “Smile on Saturday” themes in the past. My model has kindly returned to sit for me yet again for this theme. I decided that I wanted to photograph two hands and two rings, and my model has, in my opinion anyway, two beautiful hands. He also has a selection of some very lovely rings. The ring on the left is a 1920s Art Deco cocktail ring of garnets and pearls in a platinum setting on a band of gold. The ring on the right is a mid-Victorian square cut red spinel set in an elegant gold mount from the 1860s. To highlight the beauty of the two rings, I decided to process this photo as a selective colour image. I hope that you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
