Project 3 Object: 5th photoshoot_edited photos

PROJECT 3_OBJECTS_FINAL IMAGES


Object: Fuitybix bites

Object: Sugarcubes

Object: chocolate pretzels

Overall I think this project has helped me to explore more into lighting and think outside the square. At the beginning I struggled with what to do with my objects as shown in the ealier posts with the beans. However after talking to tutor, he has inspired me and helped me to be more creative and to try manipulate objects to do what i want.

It was quite good to search on imags that I want to mimic/replicate but created with my objects. I also find that this project I had spent more time and effort into the development process with more photoshoot which gave me more opportunity to perfect an image. The final ideas were derived from the developement process also during photoshoots.

However there are also some areas which I could do better if I had more time.

Lighting, this was the area that I explored the most but still havn't quite mastered it yet. I could have adjusted the lighting a bit more to give the right lighting, and for example in the stonehenge image using better light to mimic the outside natural skylight.

Camera lense, this project I used a bridge camera for the whole project. Because I didn't have a Macro camera and the lense on my SLR camera doesn't produce good close-up images.

All in all, I found this project very enjoyable and fun. It was useful to explore in the different things we could do to manipulate the object to transform it.

After looking at the 4th photoshoot, I wanted to used the remaining time to do another photoshoot to get better images for the stonehenge and another image for th sugarbube.

I remember talking to Matt (tutor) from last tutorial that we should show images of our photoshoot setup to demonstrate the different lightings that we are experimenting.
In all of my photoshoots I have experiement with
-spotlight
-floodlight
-light table
-different colour lighting

Project 3 Object: 4th photoshoot_edited photos

Here are the edited images from 4th photoshoot, these image I think are quite successful and have the potential to be final images.


For object 1, fruitbix bites there are a few photos which I liked, But still need to decide which 2 images are the strongest to use.

Object 1_image 1_volcano lava: I think this image is good, the red reflection adds to the flaming lava idea.



Object 1_image 2_shadows: This image was interesting as initially it was staged for stonehedge shots, the shadows created by the shapes looks like people's shadows.



Object 1_image 3_stonehedge: I think this image has the strongest idea but the way I have framed and photographed is the best. I should redo this one from a lower angle shot.




For the 2nd object-Sugarcubes, I could not decide which image was better to put in as the final image. It is out of the illuminated wall or the watercube. Even though the they are both good images, I think the watercube image is better to have in the series because it runs with the idea of 'Food Wonders'.

For object 3. Chocolate pretzels, I think the 2 images below are the best from the photoshoots and carries well the idea that I wanted to achieve. In both images it was based on the idea of faces and you could not tell it was chocolate prezels.. right?

Contact sheets from 4th photoshoot. With ideas in mind, I went and carried out another batch of photos. There were some images that are very successful and would be final image material. The next step that I have to do is to edit through the photos and pick out the best images, remembering that the submission requirement is 2 images of each object.
