Art and craft

I have one amazing acquaintance who is engaged in blacksmithing. He makes axes. It would seem, who needs axes? But in fact, when you take this masterpiece of blacksmith's craft in your hands, you don't want to let it out of your hands.
Here are some works of this master.

As a photographer, I help a blacksmith with photographing axes and preparing advertising materials. Then one day I needed to make a picture for the site that would illustrate feedback to those who ask questions on the site.

I thought for a long time how to be. The fact is that the forge itself is positioned as a place where lost methods of metal processing are restored. Apply technology of the late 19th century. So this is all done by hand. Each piece is unique. Accordingly, the picture should be some kind of non-modern and modern at the same time ...

Task!

And so, once I went to lunch at a cafe and saw an interesting cook there. He had all the hands in tattoos. The plot was not very clear to me, and when I met this chef, I found out that there was no plot. Just bright color images.

And I called this young cook to pose for me a little. Well, Delche seemed to me. that you just need to put a still life and add his hand with a pen.

And the pen should be ink.

The result I got this picture.

Honestly, thanks to the blacksmith and his problems, I saw many interesting things right next to me.

For example, the forge is located in the old factory, which in itself is a work of art.

For example, the forge itself.

Now about the territory of the old factory where the forge is located. This is an old red clay brick. The brick keeps traces of time and turns into an art object.

It is in such an amazing way that everything in metal and stone is mixed.
