This image represents exactly the things that I try to do with that “painterly style” that has been attributed to my work. As soon as I shot my first frame I was so excited to have this published. It is one of my favorites. This is from Martha’s Recipes for Health about fruit desserts running this week in the New York Times.
Did you use real sobert for the shoot? How did you prevent it from melting?
I LOVE that rich green. Great contrast of colors…
Painterly sums it up perfectly. What a beautiful shot and an extraordinary green color… did you paint it? It has such depth. A great pleasure to see it.
You know, the one great thing about the NYT being online and not in paper form is that you can see the quality of the photographs which were lost when they were printed. This would have been a blur on news print.
My assistant, Jamie, made that surface based on a photo I saw. I asked him to paint it for me and I’ve been thrilled with the results. He is a very talented painter and is becoming a very proficient photo assistant.
So pretty and now I want to make the recipe !
