Thank you for sharing, Jako, and for taking the time to contribute to our Photo Digest. Interestingly, we’ve already featured “Pepper No. 30” in the Fine Art Group, but we find your write-up more engaging.

Always a pleasure! Completely forgot about the post in Fine Art. My apologies. I discussed the pepper with my colleagues, and it sort of stuck, and ended up in this post. 🙂

In the past month, we explored a range of iconic images, each with their own unique elements. However, what's fascinating is the common thread that runs through these portraits: each photograph uses light, form, and setting in a captivating manner to tell a compelling story. Whether it's the strong narrative elements in Ritts' "Fred with Tires," the timeless elegance in Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or the raw power captured in Sander's "Powerhouse Mechanic," each image draws us into a different world while maintaining these core artistic principles. Click on the thumbnails to view the images in a lightbox and select your favourite photo. We're keen to see which one stands out for you! Feel free to elaborate on your choice in the comments section.
Which is your favourite iconic photograph: Ritts' "Fred with Tires," Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or Hine's "Powerhouse Mechanic"?

I remember seeing this photo almost two decades ago when I was just starting in photography. The way it arranged so much beauty in a tight, triangular formation of bodies really struck me. It had a big impact on how I view great photography.

All kind of art
I am a wild card, full of life and love to try all kind of things. Photography is one of my greatest passion, and love to capture moments. To creat things that are different. And to learn more things keep life interesting. I am married with 3 kids joy of life. I am a child of God and He is my reason to live life to the fullest. I also work for myself, in all art thing.
This is a very simple, yet effective portrait, complemented by the fitting directional lighting that suits your subject well. I hope you captured a series of varied expressions. What light shaper did you employ for your key light? Next time, do remember to include more details about your lighting setup.
