Leaving Nothing to Chance
Priscilla Popper - Yellow Tulips on Blue
All photographers seek to develop a unique style that sets their work apart, that fulfills their creative need to communicate in a distinctive voice. Priscilla is doing just that in her still life work. She chooses ordinary objects, places them in an extraordinary environment and carefully orchestrates the light and colors to capture an image that faithfully portrays her imagination. For the above she selected blue cloth, blue poster board, a blue vase and, for the perfect complementary color, bright yellow tulips. Natural side light streams in and the perfectly placed framing triangle was created by raising and lowering the shade on the window. The final image is both exciting and comforting, warm and cool simultaneously. Another look at the great creative talent we have in the ACC.
Here are two more examples of Priscilla’s work.

You have a great eye for color and composition. These are great!
Priscilla…
Amazing examples of the things folks breeze by without a second look…The compositions are perfection and the contrasts magnificent. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Priscilla,
You go to the head of our design class! Your use of line, temperature, and contrast are wonderful. Great pieces!
How much fun it is to get to know you a bit on our rides up to the club meetings. To think I know you a little. Then, voila, out of you comes this amazing creativity of thought and talent to realize your visions. Wow. I’m delighted and impressed. Thanks for sharing these wonderful and inspiring photos.
These photos are an inspiration and challenge for all of us and stunning examples of how to take the simple things around us and create something beautiful. Is photography an art?? Who could look at these photos and say that it is not?
Thank you Priscilla.
These are great Priscilla. I too love the blues with the yellow. I am now inspired to setup some still life that would be half as good as yours. Keep it up.
the simplicity and vibrance combine to make for stunning images. hats off, priscilla.
wonderful..just wonderful!
Very pretty, the blue vase and yellow flowers! And I also love the water drops! Very creative!
The blue with yellow is breathtaking – the droplets encase a flower – lovely. Thank you.
I especially love the first one – the Blue Period! – for composition and arresting effect of colors in well proportioned layout.
What a difference the yellow tulips make, if you can imagine their absence for comparison. Lovely work!
