    Love the composition & colour treatment

  • Trish O'Brien replied

    Thanks Matt – I seem to not be able to leave my images pure black and white, I enjoy working with these warmer tones. The cello has become one of my favourite subjects – and a nice piece of body armour for me, lol.

    How could I not love this one? Great concept, perfectly executed. Makes me think about the well known Man Ray picture.

  • Trish O'Brien replied

    Haha, I have been thinking about doing my own version of the Man Ray too – one of my favourite pictures – it won’t be me modeling it though! The concept here was “am I the cello, or is the cello me”, and I’m happy with the result. I’m glad you like it!

    Can I use the image for the poem below if I give appropite credits where published?
    http://www.writingsinrhyme.com

    Strings stuck make us all sing a song sweet as silence
    We’re instruments in the orchestra of life
    And each other are the bow and the hand that plays
    The broken strings and the off notes is our strife
    We meet with, deal with very time every day
    We with life’s other instruments must be in tune
    So play us well, treat us well, and who is to say
    That our solo may be one to make the crows swoon…

  • Trish O'Brien replied

    Dear Tomas. Thankyou so much for asking me, I am flattered and you’ve written a lovely poem. However at this stage I’d like to keep the image to myself as I am putting together a book of music images and my own poetry. I hope you understand, and wish you all the very best in your work. x
