The photographed object immediately transports us into the real world. We are assured that these crystals, these fabrics, these cigarettes, these choice dishes, this beautiful face, are not fictitious examples, that they exist somewhere, with all their transparency, their soft texture, their appetizing freshness, their seductive charm."
