still life photoshoots and contact sheet

In this picture I rated, coloured and flagged my photos so that I could have an idea of what photos I liked most and so that I could edit the pictures that I liked without editing the unnecessary pictures.

In some pictures I used the copy-stand and in other i used an infinity screen.

For this photo I chose objects that I picked from the studio that portrayed a mysterious atmosphere. I wanted to give the photo more life so I added some techniques to the photo to reach its minimum peak. I kept the tint, temperature, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, dehaze and saturation untouched because I felt like the photo didn’t need them. I increased exposure to expose more the light in the photo, clarity to show more of the details in the photo, and finally increased the vibrancy to give the photo more colour. This picture was taken in an infinity screen with continuous light from the left and from a small light on the bottom of the infinity screen.

For this photo I wanted to create a warm and cosy tone to it. when I took this picture I looked at it and I really liked how it looked in general. I strongly believed that it showed the cosy feel to it yet it also was warm which, so I decided not to touch it and leave the picture just as it is . This picture was taken from an infinity screen with continuous light from the left and a small light on the bottom of the infinity screen.

Again for this photo I kept it untouched because I liked how it looked by itself. I wanted to have a photo that showed a slight off white look to it and was cool. I think that the photo naturally is cold and bleak so there was no need to edit it. This photo was taken in an infinity screen without the bottom light which gave it a cooler tone.

For this picture I wanted to play around with the white balance on the camera. I didn’t want the photo to have different lighting. I decreased the white balance to give the photo a more cool tone to it and finally to edit it, I increased the exposure the to make it lighter and cooler. This photo was taken from an infinity screen with a continuous light on the left.

For this photo I wanted to enhance the gold colour off the lipstick and also increase the white in the photo. I kept the temperature, tint, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, dehaze and saturation untouched because it did no good to the photo and didn’t help my aim with the photo. I increased the exposure to expose the brighter parts of the photo, clarity to show more off the texture in the photo and show the gold that the the original photo wasn’t showing and finally I increased the saturation to increase the saturation of the gold on the lipstick. This photo was taken from a copy-stand with continuous light coming from the sides.

For this photo, I wanted a homely and summery feel to it. When I took this photo I felt like I had already achieved what I wanted, without editing I think that it already had a homey feel to it so I left it unedited. This photo was taken from an infinity screen with a continuous light coming from the left

For this photo, I wanted to produce a clean and posh tone to the photo because I felt like the objects had that posh tone. When I took this photo I liked how it was very bright and illuminated the colours of the objects. I zoomed in the photo to show more of the details of the objects. Because I was happy with the photo unedited, I left the photo as it is and didn’t edit any of it. This photo was taken free hand with a black background and a white ‘floor’. The camera had a Flash setting so every time I took a photo, the light on the left flashed.

Again, For this photo I wanted to produce a clean and posh tone to the photo because I felt like the objects had that posh tone. When I took this photo I liked how it was very bright and illuminated the colours of the objects. I didn’t zoom in the camera lens, I kept my distance from the objects but made sure you couldn’t see the outside from the set up. Because I was happy with the photo unedited, I left the photo as it is and didn’t edit any of it. This photo was taken free hand with a black background and a white ‘floor’.

This is the set up I used to take the last two photos.
