Lighting: for this image I used natural lighting from a nearby window in order to achieve the color temperature that I wanted, since natural light is often cooler then the halogen lights in the school giving a nice balance between the cool blue lighting and the pink paper.

Aperture: I used a Rather low F stop in order to produce the depth of field look i wanted.

Shutter Speed: I experimented with various shutter speeds for this project, in this image I settled on a Fast shutter speed as there was plenty of light and I still wanted some deep shadows.

ISO: for the entirety of the project I stuck with an ISO of 100 in order to avoid grain and simply controlled the lighting with the shutter speed.

White Balance: for this image I wanted the color temperature to be rather dominant towards the cooler tones.

I was influenced by the work of Martin Creed with the latter half of the photo-shoot taking a lot of inspiration from his work with a scrunched up paper ball.
