Lamp 800

Posted under Color, Critiqued, Product

Lamp 800Whenever a craftsman or an artisan creates a product they put something of their own personality into the design.  The end result may be considered folk-art if the craftsman makes one of a kind objects.  But people that design for mass consumption also put thought into the final appearance of their product.  And as such a hundred years from now they too may achieve the status of artistic designs.

This photograph would make a fine catalog illustration for the lighting company.  This is a well made product shot.  It shows the lamp clearly, has dimension and stands out from the background.  I partially like the hint of gold light on the crown. 

I would like the photographer to consider the original subject as a work of art and as such the photo-artist must do more than record someone else’s art and find a way of interpreting the subject in a way that only you can.  As a commercial photograph you may want to increase the contrast a little to get the lamp to stand out more from the wall.  This will also brighten up the stone.

  1. Hi Jim, Thank you for your critique. You are right, there is nothing special about this light. But then I still liked how it turned out with the simplicity and the reflection in the glass. … Maybe some texture effect …
