Ori Gersht - Fine Art Photographer

Iv been trying to get more inspiration for my Specialist Location. This time I wanted to find something more unusual and more original. And fell in love with this (below).
This photography is been taken by Israeli photographer Ori Gersht. 



This photography inspired me straight away. I find it as very strong and powerful. Even if there is complete chaos, its still seems very well organized chaos. Like every single small piece has his perfect place and all together gives this completed harmony. Have no idea how I will do it, but definitely would like to try something like this.










Gersht engages the themes of life, death, violence, and beauty. 


This photography surprises me how artistic it is. For me photography is more art than anything else. And so far this is one my favorite ones. I love how calm it seems, even with splashing water everywhere seems having complete harmony again. Bacground color and texture, and grapes, what straight away reminds of old paintings from late 19th century gives this really calm part and then that unpredictable water gives a bit energy and life for this photo.









In his still life series Gersht investigated the relationships between photography, technology and optical perception, at a pivotal moment in the history of photography where digital technology both threatens a crisis and promises a breakthrough. Research into the early history of the medium of photography is brought together with theoretical discourse, creating, still image and films that (literally) explode the genre of still life, the beautiful and destructive results captured using cutting-edge technology. 

Another master piece for me on left.  I love how he  has made his very own very style and which is very easy recognizable. Would be interesting to know how many different shoots he makes to get something perfect as this. In every single photo of his is this perfect balance between complete chaos and complete harmony. 
A peaceful image is transformed into bloodshed, and a dialogue is established between stillness and motion, peace and violence.







Im definitely impressed with his work and from now on his is one of my favorite photographer.
Pure art.

  1. An interesting post Maya, I haven't looked at his work before, I will have to look at more. You make some interesting observations. So can we expect exploding flowers in the studio?
