Snuffed Candle Still-life

DESCRIPTION: This Dutch Golden Age-inspired still life features symbolic objects: a snuffed candle representing life's transience, a quill and inkwell for intellectual pursuits, and books with spectacles symbolizing the quest for knowledge. A pocket watch reflects life's brevity and a glass of wine life's fleeting pleasures. Together, they explore the balance between time, knowledge, and life's impermanence.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS: Using Light Painting technique each object was carefully illuminated to accentuate the subject's inherent beauty. This meticulous process requires shooting in a completely dark room with patience and precision, ensuring that every element enhances the overall harmony and balance of the composition.
