Still Life: Shell Jewels
Still Life: Shell Jewels
Malaika’s second Still Life shooting of the Shell Jewelry…
This time, I wanted to emphasize on the Autumn colors as well as on the assortment of shells, plated in yellow, pink and black.
In this particular shooting, I decided to use different leathers, with different treatments as well as colors.
In some other cases, I used antique Indonesian molds to connect and highlight the artisan-made work of expert hands. As the Setting is a frame mounted around the natural shell without using any glue but simply following nature’s curves, the mastery behind these unique pieces lies on the experience and the skill of the artisan himself. One must be skilled at holding the shell without shattering it and yet working to support and to surround it with pure finesse.
The outcome is captivating and mesmerizing….
