Making Time.

This conceptual watch photograph was self-assigned, and inspired by craftsmanship and wooden watches. This final image was a composite of a “background plate” shot in studio, the watch shot in same scene, and some other compositing elements (wood shavings, dust particles, carve marks. etc.) for blending the watch into the wood block.
