Vivid Flame Photography

These Fire Portraits by Rob Prideaux Capture Heated Smoke Imagery

— October 13, 2013 — Art & Design
San Francisco based still-life and product photographer Rob Prideaux captures this stunning series of fire portraits. Known for his ability to glamourize ambiguous and grotesque subject matter, the visionary artist finds beauty in burning flame imagery.

Rob Prideaux captures the varying facets of a burning fire and zooms in on the multi-dimensional properties of a flame and the cloud of smoke that surrounds it. His visual experiment results in a gorgeous study of color tones and a dimensional perspective views of smoke movements and shapes.

While the photographer's stunning collection features a majority of lone fire views, he also experiments with images of enflamed polymer materials and even captures symbolic still-life portraits of a burning book element.


Trend Themes
1. Fire Photography - There is potential for this type of photography to be applied to industries such as advertising or interior design, bringing about new and creative ways of capturing attention.
2. Abstract Beauty - By finding beauty in the grotesque and unseemly, artists and designers have the opportunity to create new and striking designs and products that challenge traditional aesthetics.
3. Microscopic Perspectives - Exploring the minutia of everyday objects can lead to new discoveries and ideas, inspiring innovation in fields such as materials science or medicine.
Industry Implications
1. Advertising - Fire photography could be used in advertising campaigns for products or services that embody the intensity and energy of a flame, like spicy foods or extreme sports.
2. Interior Design - Using fire photography in interior design presents a new and unique aesthetic, bringing a warm and fiery flare into spaces, and could inspire new design trends.
3. Publishing - The 'burning book' still-life portraits could be used as cover art for books or publications centered around themes of destruction, rebirth, or transformation, breathing new life into book design.
