He is also known for his study of a bellpepper from his garden: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edward-weston.com\/edwardweston?itemId=h66fihb738i5j3uo8c4xvv83scqzkc\">Pepper by Edward Weston<\/a>.<br \/>\nLooking at this, the following thoughts came up:<br \/>\n&#8211; The subject defines the photograph.<br \/>\n&#8211; The photographer is only a technician.<br \/>\nBut is that true? Because the photographer selected the bellpepper and the angle of view which makes it so interesting, this has more to do with aesthetics.\u00a0The shape of the bellpepper is enhanced by the lighting and sharpness (more technical).<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by Edward Weston I decided to shoot some food myself. The objective was to evoke some association with human form, like aforementioned bellpepper does so potently.\u00a0I fondled the subjects quite some time and positioned and lit them in different ways to get to know their shapes\u00a0more intimately.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20100502_Y1S9345-Red-bellpepper.jpg\" alt=\"Red bellpepper\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red bellpepper &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20100502_Y1S9401-Garlic.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garlic &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20100525_Y1S0590-Tomatoes.jpg\" alt=\"Tomatoes\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tomatoes &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_85\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20100525_Y1S0626-Asparagus.jpg\" alt=\"Asparagus\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asparagus &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20100526_Y1S0681-Dates.jpg\" alt=\"Dates\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dates &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edward Weston shot a bellpepper that looked like a person.
