Beyond the technical recognition, this artwork captures the universal, overwhelming emotion of new life. I want to share with you not only how it was created technically, but why I believe it resonated so deeply with an international jury.
When I raised the camera that day, I wasn't just a "Fine Art Photographer." I was a smitten, slightly overwhelmed, new father. The sheer fragility of that tiny foot, its miniature perfection, felt like a metaphor for everything life offers: beauty, vulnerability, and infinite potential.
In that moment, I sought to isolate one feeling: the absolute quiet a newborn brings to a room. The choice of black and white wasn't just aesthetic; it was an emotional necessity. I wanted to eliminate all color distraction to focus the viewer purely on the texture, the line, and the purity of that form.
To achieve that intimate depth and detail, I had to work meticulously on the lighting and composition. I used a natural source light in an early morning, from the bedroom window, to enhance the curves, ensuring every tiny detail of the skin was visible, almost palpable.
Why Fine Art? A piece like this demands an archival-quality print. Fine Art printing ensures the blacks are deep and velvety, and the subtle grey tones are preserved for decades. This is my commitment to preserving not just the image, but the emotion captured.
