Artist's Comments


Alchemy , a part of the Occult Tradition, is both a philosophy and a practice with an aim of achieving ultimate wisdom as well as immortality.

Hope you like it.
As always, all fav and feedback is very appreciated.

After my last image ( [link] ) a lot of you asked for another one, and some information regarding the set-up.
And a lot asked about manipulations.
None of my photos are manipulated, i use photoshop for contrast, grain removal, colortones and light. But i do not ad or remove objects other then dust and such.
The light circles here/bokeh are from small lights i placed behind the cup.
You can use all sorts of lights, but i really like working with small lights aka christmas-tree lights.
the F1.8 makes the lights totally out of focus.
I used a canon 50mm 1.8 lens here.
i used tape/glue and hang the lights from a ceiling.
It takes a while to get the set-up right, but i love working with it.
