With a Touch of Swedishness by Adriaan Pretorius
I love bread. I love the whole process that goes with it from getting your hands all full of dough, watching it proof, how it rises to perfection in the oven and the smell that escapes when you take it out. Home made bread, or even from a good bakery, can go with anything. My choice for this photograph was to round it off with cream cheese and dill which gave it that bit of Swedish identity in the end.
Coffee & Chocolate Handshake by Adriaan Pretorius
In this photograph I brought together two, familiar to each other, combinations. It ended up not only looking together during the shoot, but also came through in taste. Chocolate and coffee, being the theme of the photograph, had to come together in a messy composition that would create the mouthwatering feel.
The Magic of Black and White by Kirsten Bruening
“Black and white is abstract,” the great photographer Joel Sternfeld once said. “Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.” Black and white photographs let the viewer see the world from a different angle and see the beauty of the subject from a completely new light. Black and white photographs have their very own magic and, when viewed over a longer period of time, bring out new small details again and again.
