Proper Porcelain Plates
December 2023
Using a pared-back approach to props and styling works well with ceramics, as does using hard materials such as granite, stone and tile. The hardness of these materials providing a natural habitat for the work. Stone or tile is a great choice but is limited in terms of size. For the shoot I painted backgrounds similar in tone and texture to concrete or stone. These work much better than bought-in vinyl backdrops as studio lighting can be tweaked into accentuating real texture.
