Mentoring by theme (February) - 'Rustic'

Tird theme: Rustic (open to enterpretation)

After a googlesearch on ‘Rustic’ it seemed to me it all was about romantic countryside, or «my sweet home” accessories. That was not at all what came into my mind when I read the word ‘Rustic’
I thought of metal (maybe it was because of the resemblance of ‘rust’)… And I knew I wanted it to be a graphic design. And I love/hate the Norwegian “hytte” (cabin) style, a style that had it’s variants in my childhood home in the 70’s. A retro nationalromantic look of black/wrought iron and woven textiles on the walls. It’s nostalgic to me.
So I found an object I have from that period, and tried to make it contemporary yet still old/rustic. 

 The pictures are supposed to be one unit/feature on the wall.

I did not use a flash, because I thought that would be too much contrast and shadow (where I didn’t need them. Instead I used a lamp on some of them to make contrast and shadow the way I wanted.

And i know that I have a challenge with getting the light.  At first I was looking for a theme, trying to think of what I wanted pairs to be about. I ended up shouting The tree of love (the heart lights in the tree) and went out of my comfort zone by asking people if I could take a picture of them for my project.  I like that it looks kind of dark, with little colours, just the hearts telling what it’s all about. Love. I hope the pictures are kind of close/intimate in a way. And if I should let the story tell more, I think the branches from the tree is the darkness we should be aware of, because
