Pearls by Adrian Mann, SS 1969, photographed by Hans Feurer. When asked what makes a good photograph, Feurer once said: “First, I have a picture in my head, then I make a drawing of it, and then I photograph it. I’m a Zen Buddhist by philosophical conviction. That means reducing everything unnecessary until only the essence is left. The telephoto lens and using a certain depth of focus allows me to crystallize precisely what I want, right down to the point. All you see of the rest is just a fuzzy atmosphere, almost like a perfume. Photography is light and shadow. Shadow is just as crucial.” #objet_d_emotion…#valerydemure#jewellery#fashionjewelry#finejewellery#contemporarydesign#jewelry#finejewelry#art#modernart#sculpture#luxury#objetdemotion#handmade#instagood#designerjewellery#fashionjewellery#fineart#jewellerycollector#jewelrycollector#preciousstone#diamonds#silver#abstractart#jewel#jewels#artisan#abstract#craftsmanship#gold
