The photo, Drinks for Two, is what I find to be genius talent. Andrea Despot, the photographer, makes it very clear what the main ingredient of wine is... grapes. I love it. The concept is so simple, yet truly profound.
In addition, the photograph itself is of exceptional quality. The glasses against the black background seem to jump of the photograph. I love that the photo is not glossy as I think the matte shows the lighting better.
Andrea caught the perfect lighting to make this picture astounding. I framed it in a simple black frame and let it jump off my wall.
Andrea has been a photographer for eight years, shooting mostly objects. She loves taking an ordinary thing and making it extraordinary by using exceptional lighting techniques and color to emphasize shape and texture. Isn't that what I was trying to say about the Drinks for Two photo?
Photography started as a hobby but is now Andrea's career. She works as a full-time photographer at a printing company and also does freelance work... eventually wanting to become a full-time photographer at a studio, and maybe even someday own her own business.
Well I think Etsy and her website are a great start. She clearly is talented, and I'm sure she'll take her artisitic vision around the world.
Photgraphy makes Andrea happy. This photo makes me happy. Now, she wants you to be happy. Andrea would like to offer one of you the print of your choice!!

while the acid sunset is gorgeous... I really really like the bubbles print! I have the perfect spot I can put it in my kitchen and at least it would bring a smile to my face as I was washing the dishes lol...

This one was a no brainer since it has been a favorite since Andrea first posted it. I love the socks, they literally knocked the socks off me.

Her photography is just gorgeous! It's hard to pick a favorite. I really like The Lost and the DOF she used. I added her store to my favorite though because I liked too many of the prints.
Thanks for the chance to win such a lovely prize!
