About the artwork

Green cardamom - Aromatic exoticism for fine moments of pleasure. Collection: A spoon of tastefully seasonings

The photo shows whole green cardamom pods falling in a fine stream from the centre of the picture and collecting in a natural wooden spoon. Each elongated capsule is in sharp focus and shows the characteristic longitudinal grooves as well as the slightly varying shades of green. The calm, medium-dark grey tone of the background emphasises the organic shapes and the warm wood grain of the spoon.

Technique
High-speed macro photography with a very fast shutter speed: the falling capsules are precisely frozen, even the smallest particles remain visible.
Shallow depth of field: Only the cardamom pods in the jet and in the spoon are sharp; the foreground and background merge into soft bokeh.
Soft, diffused light: Emphasises the texture and shape of the capsules, without harsh shadows or burnt-out highlights.

Colours
Delicate green to yellow-green of the cardamom pods
Warm honey and walnut nuances in the wooden spoon
Neutral mid-grey in the background for a clear, modern contrast
