Light and Shadow

©️ Jen Holmes, “my little peaches”

Peaches. I love their taste, their velvety feel. How they look when they’re arranged in a bowl. Sensual in a way that is simple, unpremeditated. No need to flaunt. Just let the light bring out their natural glow. She knows that, the photographer. She also knows that what is not exposed to the light has its own hypnotic power, its own seductive gaze. What can’t be seen exerts its own gravitational power.

It’s all in the play of light and shadow.
