Having had the pleasure of working with David Ellsworth, I can clearly see the influence of both him and William Hunter in your pieces and body of work...I can think of no higher praise than that....

That's an incredible piece!
And the photography is exceptional!
It actually looks almost like a digital creation - like something one might make using just a computer.
Fantastic!

my dad does alot of woodworking, so I know that doing this type of work is rediculously tiresome!
Fantastic job!

Your honesty in the process is commendable. While my art works aren't as precise, and made with utility in mind, I can understand the process and fragility, as well as the appeal of crafting such a work. Unfortunately for me to be as brutally honest, I should admit that my pictures are taken with a much lower budget method; pillowcases propped up on my bed with a stiff board or CD case supporting the subject. It works, but it doesn't quite get the same effect as a devoted studio setting does.

Hi IcyDrake,
i have started with a relativley low price photo equpiment. My firt pictures i had made in my garden on a cloudy day with a white cardborard on a wooden garden chair. The cloudy weather is the best light situation for this. it costs nearly nothing. Then i go into my subterrain room and made a stage table with wood and whihte cardboard. The lightning was made with a spotlight for building (i dont know the right english word sorry) and some white silk pieces for diffusing the light
Another cheap object studio is shown under this [link]
Now i have an object table (60β¬
I Hope this helped a little bit

Well, what I've got is good for now.
Except for the camera, that's my brother's. But hey, I'm not even in college yet, I figure I should be making a real profit before I go real professional.
My art is the product, not the display. I can always make a cheap studio on the seat of my pants if I put myself into it.
You elaborated on your process pretty well, though I don't remember asking any questions.
Thanks

You are right - the piece is the art but in my opinion displaying an artistically piece is important.
Your pieces are displayed good, i dont want to criticize this!

Good Day.
