Colours – photographs of sweets and Christmas market details
Colourful lollipops, dried fruit and decorated gingerbread form this small gallery of photographs from the Christmas market in Wrocław. Instead of wide views of stalls, I show selected details: combinations of colours, repeating shapes and differences in texture. Ordinary products become photographic subjects in which colour is as important as the object itself.
Several photographs of lollipops allow a comparison of how a frame is composed and a subject isolated from its surroundings. Alongside them are dried fruit and gingerbread in the shapes of hearts and figures, hanging from colourful strings. A change of subject also brings a change of surface: from smooth sweets to delicate decorations on baked goods. These details give the series its festive character, without the need to show the whole market.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using focal lengths from 115 to 200 mm. The gallery includes photographs taken at both f/2.8 and f/8 — different depths of field help direct attention to a single detail or a larger part of the composition. This is my photographic view of the colours of everyday objects and the rhythm of festive decorations. You can check the settings for each image under the “More Info” button.
