Two white foam core boards used to add light to sides of vase to prevent merger with background. x1600 White Lighting fired into silver umbrella above and to left of setup to simulate natural light.

this work is expressed in a most beautiful and caring way; imagine for a moment that we see this image and know nothing of how it was made; is not the care taken to produce it obvious; indeed, there is a passionate craftsman behind it!

  Thank you so much! I sold an 11x14 version of this to a former coworker, also named Melissa. I printed this at home on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper and had it framed under a black matte with a suede texture and in a black lacquer frame. This had the effect of enlarging the surrounding area and the whole composition seems to float in a dark universe. My friend's reaction to it is something I'll never forget nor will I forget yours or Michael Khoury's.

  I can not seem to take my eyes away from this image, Michael. I am drawn to the beautiful simplicity of these lovely callas. An image to take your breath away!

  Thank you,Laurie! It's one of my favorites, too. I use it for my "signature" photo as it's very much the kind of work I want to be known for.
