Conceptualizing abstract ideas in product photography
With still life photography I found a way to combine all the disciplines I´m passionate about: art, design and photography. I´m always looking for the right balance between my more technical side and the more creative one. Both are equally important in the kind of projects I do. I´m very interested in physical interactions that I can reproduce in my compositions, from the movement of liquids to the way a certain source of light hits a surface or casts a shadow. I like to turn technical challenges into sources of creative inspiration.
For this project, my starting point was the idea of infinity as a modular platform, and the super high resolution of the IQ4 150MP. The set I built was a composition of geometric structures that represented pixels. I used materials that could be related to photographic concepts, with transparencies for the crystal in the lenses, how light interacts with the glass and the color as it passes through.
