Can you say that a photograph is 'still' in its beauty ? {seems a sort of obvious observation} hmmm...maybe 'quiet' is a better word. Either way, the interior and still life work of photographer, roland bello's mesmerizes, with the quiet dignity of spaces.
Well, I must say I love his collections. The newspaper wallpaper reminds me of "A Brilliant Mind" though. Interesting. It looks like a set, not an apartment.
Love the photos of the antique jelly molds. But I have difficulty with some of the other spaces: perhaps it is the intimacy and emotion that find expression in the photograph. Thanks for making me ponder.
I think you're right- some of these photos are probably sets,rather than actual rooms.
And, Mary, I agree, they have a sort of non intimate feel to them. But at the same time there's such a confidence that, to me at least, they don't at all feel void of emotion.
I love that his photography evokes an off putting feel. It's so easy to go to the happy, catalogue place. But a bit more of a stretch to create 'moodiness' while hanging on to beauty.

I kinda want to grab my Dad's Sunday NYTIMES and start pasting it up on the walls! :)
I can feel the vibration from here.
