Brachat uses long lenses and short depths of field to bring a soft intimacy to the food--a style for which he has become renowned. Using shallow depths of field and the string as a reference, he emphasizes the focal plane, creating a dazzling burst of sharpness and then a blurred fraying on each side of the focus. With their fragmentary vistas, tight cropping, varying depths of field, and, in one case, double exposure, the images in his most recent portfolio, Springtime on Stage, 2005, contrast greatly with the "gestaltist" manner in which one typically encounters his art in a quasi-clinical gallery setting. |
