Description This is a commissioned photograph i did for the model that appears in the picture. She wanted something completely different- and i have to admitt this isnt "perfect" but this is one of my first attempts to allow the muse of David La Chappelle flow through me! There are actually only 4 real apples in this picture... find them and you get a cookie! This picture was taken on a roof top in QUEENS, NEWYORK on my trip there a week ago!


-----------------------------------
UPDATE JULY 5TH 2009
-------------------------------------

I appreciate the feature and how many people it brought to my page but let me just say... This image is what started my career. I took it with a POINT and SHOOT KODAK EASY SHARE camera while in new york with someone that had liked what i was capable of doing with just a point and shoot. She paid me so i thought "fuck the vacation... lets make some money" i was not yet passionate about the art of photos. BUT, it was the catalyst to get people talking about me and my work.

Since then I have had a world open up to me and I have been able to do a CD cover and booklet for VIRGIN RECORDS and even gone further with my career. This image means the world to me and I am glad some of you like it and the rest of you, I agree it needs work. I said that myself when i posted it. I see flaws all the way through it BESIDES the fact that i took it when I was still using an EASYSHARE camera and had NEVER USED lighting equipment or a professional camera or anything.

it was a turning point for me and I hope you can appreciate that as i do. If you are weighing it out as an image that holds its own now? no. I dont think it does that.

Brilliant, but might I add...
Sir Issac Newton's love interest?
even though that story is a myth, I still thought of that the instant I saw this picture.

I'm guessing the four around her feet are the real ones? ^^ This is a very interesting photo and different too! Amazing job!

cute (: the model is a really simple beauty.

i like how you didn't dress her up to much but the colors of her dress and the apples contrast so much

she's like the center of attention (: [haha, but i'm guessing that's the point lol]

Wow, so beautiful! I love the playful, surreal idea, the vibrant colours and the way the model is placed into the scene. You did a great job! Huuuuh... I'd guess it's the apples around her feet, but there are three on the left site which have a different shadow than the others.

Interesting. amusing concept.

XD My guess is the three off to the left side that are in a line, and the one that's practically out of the image, are the real ones.

BerenSaelor [2009-03-13 17:51:38 +0000 UTC]

i think the most important fact that it doesnt look that real is because it isnt "raining" in the background of the picture, just in the fore- and middleground but really good production. i just thought there are more real apples...

cool, cool cool. reminds me of summer. nice job with the numerous perspectives with the apples too. awesome.

i want to guess the apples!! i think the one upside-down slightly left of the center in the front row, the one slightly diagonal right to that, and then the 2 directly in front of her feet (not the middle one).
