Tamara Lischka








Tamara Lischka uses a black background with high intensity lighting to capture these interesting compositions. In her images, the lights and shadows are at high contrast. The details are clearly visible and the aperture is set so there is a shallow depth of field.

 Tamara Lischka uses large hands with small objects to create details that the human eye wouldn't normally capture. The hands are hardcore and the small objects make the hands appear soft. When looking at the small creatures the focus travels away from the hands. Hands are identified with humans, but in these images the personification has disappeared. Now they just appear as objects that hold the creatures.

Tamara Lischka's photography is interesting because of the variety of tiny objects she uses. The effect of black and white photography is timeless, elegant, and dynamic. These pictures would not have the same effect in color. I like the concept of having something large holding something small and delicate, because it creates an intriguing photograph.
