André Kértész is a Hungarian born photographer. By using reflections, transparency, and shadows, Kértész pays close attention to detail in his still lives. I find Kértész interesting because I want to do and re-create some of his works through my own representation. I love his close attention to transparency and shadow. One of his works specifically caught my eye.
What I find interesting about this photo is this lighting specifically. You can see that there is an obvious light about the still life along with a light to the right. We can know this by looking at the shadows in the bowl to the left. What I would want to try to re-create this photo is to create a darker background and have the light shine through the glasses. I think it would create an interesting effect. I also like how this photo has a story behind it, even though it is just a still life. I like how he uses his imagination to create a story through simple, random objects.
Another one of his photos that are edging my inspiration for the still life assignment is this one below:
I love this photo. It is absolutely stunning. The shadows created by the direct light from the top make this photo so interesting. It is just a simple everyday object, but with amazing light and shadows, it can be an amazing photograph. I like how Kértész took random objects and created them into something beautiful. Which is what I look forward to doing on my still life project!
