formal elements

For this I experimented with folding paper in different ways and tearing paper to create different shapes and patterns. I then experimented with different lighting by using the flashlight on my phone to create different shadows. The shadows add more depth to the photo , it also creates contrast with the tonal difference between the light and dark.
All the photos of the paper was taken up close to the paper so that u can see all the lines and shapes created from folding the paper in interesting ways. Taking the image up close also enhanced the shadows and depth in the paper. Also it created a sense of mystery as it was not so obvious that what I was photographing was paper as it looked more intriguing.
