FLOWER

In this picture, I used the technique of "light painting." In a dark room, I focused a flashlight on the subject and "painted" the light up and down while the camera captured the light.

WATCH



©Rafael Medel
I put water in a bowl and dropped a watch into it. I captured the bubbles that were created using a small aperture. I used one light source on the right side of the bowl. I wanted reflections, so I chose a metal bowl and metal watch.

LIGHTBULB

I used two lights on the left and right sides of a lightbulb mounted on cardboard. A black piece of cardboard was the background. An assistant smashed another lightbulb into the mounted lightbulb, breaking it. I captured the moment when the lightbulb shattered.

WINE BOTTLE



©Rafael Medel
This is another photograph that was taken this week in the same studio. I like the rich reds in the bottle, the glasses, and the grapes.

ORANGE JUICE

The contrast of different containers of the same elements appeals to my sense of beauty.
