Honor
Response: Irving Penn Rose — Jessica
After reading about Irving Penn on David DuChemin’s blog last night, I did a search for his still life images and fell absolutely in love with his studies of peonies and poppies. Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I tried to honor him by attempting to photograph my little knock-out rose with his technique (or as close to his technique as I could muster in the twenty minutes of time I had). I like how the plain white background gives it room to breathe (which was also the week’s assignment from Be Still 52.
This is a gorgeous shot, Jessica. I bought Lightroom, signed up for the class, and am hoping to catch up soon.
Yeah! How fun! It won’t take long. I’ve found LR to be very intuitive.
