A classic black-and-white photograph shows a hushed still life of dried tulips, elegantly arranged in a simple, glass vase. The flowers, with their wilted petals and fragile stems, exude a melancholic beauty that only the transience of time can evoke. The shot was taken with a 4x5-inch large-format camera, which ensures one beautiful tone and detail reproduction.
The composition is calm and balanced, with subtle lighting that delicately brings out the textures of the dried petals and the sheen of the glass. After shooting, the flat film was manually developed in the darkroom, paying close attention to contrast and tonality. The negative was then scanned at high resolution to preserve the rich details and nuances digitally.
This photograph is an ode to silence, decay and the beauty of the everyday - a snapshot that feels timeless, captured in light and shadow.
