Two Leaves, 1952
#1450 - Ruth Bernhard

“Take one camera with film: add one knowing eye and as much strong feeling as you have available: mix well with a generous portion of your own unique personality: expose to the right light for the exact fraction, and process until beauty appears”

 

~ Ruth Bernhard
(1905-2006)

ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

 

Ruth followed her own credo this day when she decided to photograph two leaves she had casually gathered near her apartment in San Francisco. She transformed them into something strong and majestic and totally mesmerizing. She often told her students, that you don’t have to travel to the other ends of the earth to find great subject matter. Great subjects can be found all around you.
