“Tulip Magnolia III” by Bridgette Carnochon
At first look at this photograph you would not believe that it is a photograph. While the shape of a beautiful flower presented seem realistic, the texture and colors are actaully painted. The artist used an old technique to design her photo. She first took the photo and printed it in her dark room. After she printed it she used many different types of oil paints and cotton balls, she inscribed her own personal view of the flower. The flower is delicate, but strong, which is translated through her use of light casting down on the petals, with hints of darkness in the center. The background is dull allowing the flower to become the center of the viewer’s eye. Although the majority of the colors used in the photograph are light, the image gives a hint of darkness, allowing the perfect contrast between delicacy and strength.
