Honorable Mention
Switchboard
DESCRIPTION
A vintage Switchboard abandoned. Shot with natural lighting. AUTHOR
Lynette has loved photography since her grade school fieldtrips with the family ‘Brownie’ camera.As an adult, she went into Portrait Photography but in 2000 came down with a permanent Vertigo issue which affected her movement greatly.
Still Life was the answer, and she found a deep love for this style. As an antique enthusiast, Still Life was a perfect match!
Lynette considers antiques, collectables and ‘old’ things in general, beautiful and full of character. Their signs of age and wear enhance their uniqueness and draw you into their history and purpose.
‘Light Painting’ or ‘Light Sculpting’ is her favorite technique, it is done in a dark studio using a modified flashlight or wand to bring out all the texture and details of each antique.
Instead of being defeated by Vertigo, she is thankful to be able to shoot what she knows and loves.
