Cleaning Metal
2026

Photographing progress of before and after treatments has become an art form in itself that I am still learning. Shiny, reflective objects have a lot going on. One small angle difference and a brush in the background can influence the colour tone of the entire photograph. Hopefully the change in the object still comes through with the polishing that I did- with a difference in the handle and decorative face and body of this small, silver pouring vessel.
