“Pomegranate and Persimmons”
While no one ever mistook me for an art history expert, there is an expression that suits me well, “I know what I like.” And the Dutch Master Painters of the seventh century are among my favorites. Artists whose techniques and craftsmanship I admire. Their attention to detail and, especially, the way they painted the light – mastery of creating light and shadow are exceptional. While I love many of the landscapes and scenes of everyday life from that era, it’s the still lifes that really captivated me. Art museums are always on our list of must-see places to visit while traveling, especially in Europe. And the highlight of each visit for me is the Dutch Golden Age galleries. Paintings like Jan Davids. de Heem’s Still Life with Fruit, Flowers, Glasses, and Lobster would stop me in my tracks. Of course, the inevitable happened: Why not emulate the Grand Masters style with my medium, photography. Their attention to detail, use of color, and especially, the way their mastery of painting light. In other words, try, as best I could, to fold their strengths into my own compositions. Not quite as easy as I thought. While the camera work is straightforward, the actual creation and lighting of the still life and the post-processing are more involved.” © Ron Mayhew

“Half this, quarter that”
This is a self-portrait to represent my Spanish heritage as one of my three ethnicities. The bright colors in the shawl and flowers represent the brightness in Spanish culture and lifestyle. I am wearing a shawl called ‘Manton de Manila’ draped around my shoulders which is traditionally worn by Flamenco dancers and is always embroidered with brightly colored floral patterns. © Dina Laraki

“Adorned” - Chad
Man of the Wodaabe tribe beautifying himself for the Gerewol festival in Chad. At the end of the rainy season in September, Wodaabe clans gather in several traditional locations before the beginning of their dry season transhumance migration. Here the young Wodaabe men, with elaborate make-up, feathers and other adornments, perform the Yaake: dances and songs to impress marriageable women. The male beauty ideal of the Wodaabe stresses tallness, white eyes and teeth; the men will often roll their eyes and show their teeth to emphasize these characteristics. Wodaabe clans then join for the remainder of the week-long Gerewol: a series of barters over marriage and contests where the young men’s beauty and skills are judged by young women. © Trevor Cole
