Magnolia Seed Pod

Low key black and white photography is a wonderful example of exploiting light to achieve it's maximum potential. It focuses one’s attention directly on the subject and highlights the textures, intricacies, and nuances of the surfaces. One cannot put help but be drawn into the image.

Here, I’ve used low key lighting to bring out the hairy texture and the convolutions of a Magnolia Seed Pod. There is so much for your eyes to feast on. Go ahead! Enjoy the feast.
