Rita Crane Photography: "Queen of Hearts" Still Life with Red Roses

Another image from my Still Life series, a project for a client's website. I added just a touch of Diffuse Glow to this one. If I added a lot of glow it blew the whites out too much and destroyed the detail in the silver and glass objects. I tried to find a balance between having the richness of the colors and textures, but also a delicate soft quality.

 

This was shot indoors with lights set up, and a shallow depth of field to accentuate the foreground and allow the trees in the garden to act as soft background.

 

These recent photos are certainly a departure from my usual landscapes and Old World scenes, but I thought I'd share my recent projects with you anyway. This set of Still Lifes with flowers was a collaborative effort. The owner of the business and I worked together to create these little scenes that appear as a slide show on the home page of her website: www.letuberose.com .
