Edited Photos
For these photographs, I went into the photography studio and I set up a tripod to enable to put the camera onto. I used a tripod so that I could get a stable snapshot of my objects. I used a perfume bottle, silver bracelets and a dainty, silver watch. These objects are nostalgic to me because they all remind me of my gran as she always used this perfume, the sent reminds me of her along with the silver jewellery to which she would take a big interest in. I put the objects in positions that I figured would look nice. I used cool toned lighting to take this picture because it went well with the silver and the blue. I also used the reflects on either side of the objects to prevent any shadows, and what I found out by doing this it that the reflectors also made the colour of the background the colour of the bottle even though the original background was white.
These are my best images from the photoshoot. I like these images in particular because I really like how they look very pristine and sharp. There is no shadows or creases in the background which portrays a clean aesthetic which also refers back to my gran who was a very clean lady.
Good start to the project and well done for using your own objects. Try to include your contact sheet at the top of the blog post, then pick out your stronger images.
– I think your photos with the perfume bottle are stronger in how you have grouped the objects.
– But I noticed you have the violin ones at the bottom (under where you have written ‘these are my best objects’). Try to make it clearer which you are referring to.. . I can’t tell if you mean the photos above (the perfume photos) or the ones below (the photos with the violin). I think it would be best to move the bottom photos of the violin to higher in the blog post, so your last images on that post are your best perfume photos.
– It would be good to see more photos of still life as I believe you have more skills to achieve a higher quality photo.
