Still Life – Photoshoot

This is a print screen of all of the photographs I took in my photoshoot. I experimented with different lights, making the temperature warm and cool. I positioned the objects in different places to have a variety of photos. The objects I used for this still life shoot were nostalgic as the teddy is a childhood toy which has memories connected, the polaroid can be seen as nostalgic since, even though is is a recent photo, polaroid’s are old, lastly, the tin box could symbolise a time capsule holding nostalgic memories.

The photos below are some of my strongest photographs from this photoshoot.

Simple Editing to enhance my strongest photo:

This is a screen screenshot of the before and after of a photo from this shoot that I edited in Lightroom. I brightened the image and increased highlights. I also adjusted the tone curves to dull down certain colours.

This is the final image:

  1. Good start. Try to give more analysis of your photos and the techniques you used. It would also be nice to see a post dedicated to edits for these photos (this is something I will be marking).

    When talking about your photos, you can use the image diagnosis sheets / instructions I keep in class. This includes:

    Focus​:
    – Is this image in focus?​ Partly in focus?​ Is the depth of field shallow or wide?​

    Lighting​
    – What lighting has been used? Flash or continuous? Hard or soft? Is the lighting effective?​ Why / why not?​

    Exposure​
    – Does the image have a balanced exposure?​ Over-exposed Under-exposed​? What are the signs of this?​ What is the connection between the kind of lighting used and the exposure?​

    White Balance​
    – Does the image have a hue / tinge to it?​ Do the white objects appear white or is there a colour cast?

    Include the FILE INFO (remember you can get this info by right clicking on the image in media library):​
    – Aperture​ / Shutter Speed​ ISO
