I was looking for a photograph for something the other day and was wandering through the professional photographs that Susan and I had taken of the collection of collaborative books 'Pas de Deux'.
I realised how beautifully Anastasia had captured our large Perspex books and that I had never really been able to show anybody what my book Endure actually looked like.
I had made attempts, but photographing Perspex is nigh on impossible and the light in our home adds a further degree of impossibility.
So to take you all back a few months, here is Endure in all its professionally-shot glory.
Enjoy!
Endure (L) and Susan's Perseverance (R). Studio photography by Anastasia Karyofillidis.
Close up and personal.
And from behind...lovely little stitches.
And here it is on display at Noosa Regional Gallery last year.
Our two books were the entrance feature.
The lighting was superb...
And oh me oh my the shadow-play!

What artful photography ... the last two shots in particular. So glad you posted this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz - the lighting in those last two really makes it sing doesn't it? It feels good to let this piece shine through good photography. Go well.
DeleteBeautiful photography of a wonderful work! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candy - at last the photography can do the book justice! Go well.
DeleteThese look stunning, absolutely beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks Jac - they were special books, and it nice to be able to honour them and show them with proper lighting and photos. Go well.
DeleteBeautiful! Wonderful photography. So hard to turn off reflections, isn't it. Glad you discovered the photographs.

I was so happy to discover the photos as well Sandy - and yes reflections are impossible to turn off! We were lucky to be in such a perfect space with such a talented photographer...go well.
DeleteBeautiful work, Fiona! I'm never satisfied with the photos I take of my work. A professional photographer is able to show what the piece really looks like. It's such a thrill isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn - so true. A professional just brings out the best in things and shows you ways of seeing the piece you would never have been able to. I trust Anastasia so much with our work - she does a great job. Go well.
DeleteThis is beyond stunning. And the photos are exceptional.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Seth - the books were lovely pieces; but the photos really make them something special. Go well.
DeleteGorgeous pieces.
