I chose these images as my ‘best’ ones because the quality of the photography is high and, in most of the images, I like the way the texture of the background contrasts with the smoothness of the objects. In the other ones, I like how the background looks so smooth so the focus is mainly on the objects.

Single:

I like these images because they all have a similar warm tone which gives off a feeling of nostalgia and could be categorised as ‘vintage’, as if these images were taken a long time ago.

Comparison:

before vs after

I chose to edit this image because out of all of my still life images, this was the best one and also my favourite. I edited this image using Adobe Lightroom Classic. I found that increasing the colours made a huge impact on the detail of the photograph. I decreased the whites to make the background seem a bit darker than it was. I also increased the vibrancy and saturation so the light shining on the objects came across as a warmer tone.

Experimentation on presentation:

Triptych:

A triptych is when you present a group of three images. So finally, I decided to use triptych as a way to present these images because I like the layout and it is therefore easier to compare them. I chose to use these 3 photos because I found that they stood out to me the most, as they all are higher quality and are similar in a way as they all represent a warm tone.
