Here’s a series of shots taken a couple of years back in Hungary. These handcrafted knives were part of an exhibition.
I was asked to capture some of them and the images were displayed along the handmade pieces.
The style of the knives guided my choice of rustic backgrounds and natural, earthy props. The colour of the latter was chosen to compliment the knife handle and let the pattern of the Damascus steel blade shine. And for a compelling atmosphere, it was all shot with the moody natural light of an overcast autumn day.
Can you tell I enjoyed creating these micro-stories about these one-of-a-kind knives ?
