FINE WOOD

When a talented young carpenter approached me to photograph their exquisite creations, I was immediately captivated by the opportunity to showcase their skill and craftsmanship. The two pieces I had the pleasure of photographing were a stunning side table and a meticulously crafted record box. As a photographer, I relished the challenge of capturing the intricate details and the beauty of these fine wood pieces for my portfolio.

​

The side table exuded elegance and sophistication. Its design was a seamless fusion of form and function, with every curve and contour telling a story of expert craftsmanship. I marvelled at the way the wood grain danced across the tabletop, revealing nature's artistry. My goal was to frame the table in a way that conveyed both its practicality and its artistic value, highlighting the fine details, from the graceful legs to the meticulous joinery that held it all together.

​

The record box was a work of functional art, a testament to the carpenter's dedication to their craft. It was clear that every aspect, from the choice of wood to the precision of the joints, was a labor of love. I aimed to capture the nostalgia and passion behind this piece, ensuring that the photographs would do justice to its timeless appeal.

​

As a photographer, my role was to breathe life into these wooden creations, to make viewers appreciate the tangible beauty and the tactile experience they offered. The fine wood textures and rich hues deserved to be brought to life in every frame. The play of light and shadow on the polished surfaces was an essential part of the narrative, and I wanted to convey not just the physicality of the furniture but also the emotion and dedication that went into making them.

Photographing these pieces was not just about creating images; it was about telling a story. A story of a young carpenter's passion and dedication to their art, of fine wood transformed into functional works of art.

 

The photographs on my website serve as a testament to their craftsmanship, inviting viewers to appreciate the timeless beauty and artistry of these fine wood creations. It was a privilege to be a part of showcasing these pieces through my lens, and I hope that the images reflect the skill and love poured into each piece.
