This is the photo I've decided to do for the black and white photo  and next lesson I'll do another photo and colour it in

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far. I'm still experimenting with how this all works.

I clicked many different photos in the lesson but I settled on a flower.
I'm working on colouring it right now :)
I love how it looks like it's glowing.

I have my photo for coloured solarisation and am still working on my black and white solarisation photo.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress of black and white solarisation. I played around with the curve and this looked the best in my opinion.

I have both my photos and was playing around with the curves for my first photo.

# data[].attributes.body
For the black and white solarisation image, I chose to do it of the greenery outside. Reflecting back, it was probably not the best choice as all the tedious details made it more difficult which is why I opted to make it considerably more dull than standard solarisation images.

This is my Final Still Life photo. I took a new photo because I felt that there were too many things in my original photo and everything was spread out. I added new adjustment layers including brightness/contrast, curves, Hue/saturation.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress on editing my Chiaroscuro image. I've been trying to tone down the torch light by playing around with the colour and adding a yellow glow to it. Looking back, I think I should've taken the picture with a natural light because I took the photo with a torch and the light was concentrated in only one area. I'm also trying to add contrast into the apple because at the moment, it just looks really bright and red.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i played around with different tools to change my image. I applied the solarisation process without the black and white, changed the hue/saturation to make the reds stand out and be bold and i also changed the brightness/contrast, i made it brighter and the contrast higher so it created a black frame around the flowers and perfume.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I played around with solarising this image. Due to chiaroscuro having dramatic contrasts between light and dark, I thought it would be interesting to apply the solarising process to the picture. I forgot to change it to black and white before solarising so it did not end up looking like the image that I produced with this technique last term, but I like how it turned out.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the progress i've made so far on the editing stage of my chiaroscuro image. I have been trying to create a more dramatic contrast between light and dark by using the brightness/contrast and curves tool. I have also used the shadows/highlights tool to help emphasise the light which is cast in the middle of my image. The shadows/highlights tool also helped the picture achieve the look of a painting which matches the examples we have looked at.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been trying to experiment with different object for the images and i ended up choosing a different collection of objects and a different arrangement than i has originally planned out.  i also changed the lighting i used and instead of keeping the white light i used a salt lamp to give the image an orange glow. I played around with the exposure and brightness as well as the curves tool. afterwards i used the hue/saturation tool to try and change the hue's of the red and green colours within my image. i ended up cropping out the books on the side in my new image to make the image less chaotic and more simple.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the progress i have made on my chiaroscuro image so far. I have been experimenting with various tools all with two main purposes; making the photo look more painting like and to emphasise the shadows in my photo. One of the tools i have implemented was the the "shadows and highlights" in adjustments, this really helped me accentuate the shadows that wasn't visible at first and dramatises the lighting. To bring in a more painting look, i used the curves layer which allowed me to tone down the realistic features.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been experimenting with different tools to see what would match with my photo and be most effective in creating dark and light within my image. I played with the curves tool, hues and saturation, colour balance, vibrance, exposure and levels tool. I'm not very happy with my progress so far as many of the tools make my photo very washed out or too bright. I will continue to experiment to further modify my photo until I am satisfied. I've also added film grain but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far on my chiaroscuro image. I have experimented with a couple of different tools on photoshop and darkened some tones around the picture. I started with using curves to start off contrasting the light and dark as well adjusting brightness/contrast through new adjustment layer.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the progress I have made on my image. I first started by using curves to create contrast onto the picture and then adjusted the brightness. I then modified the exposure and will continue to adjust it until it looks right.

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented with my image in photoshop using different tools. I used the "New adjustment layer" and played around with the brightness and contrast which really made the colours stand out from the darkness. I also played around with the curves tool.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far on my image. I have experimented with brightness and contrast layers to get more contrast and shadows on my image. I tried to make the lighting less harsh and for little details to stand out by using the hue and saturation tool. I used the curves tool to balance the image out.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far experimenting with tools in Photoshop. I played around with the 'curves' tool to adjust the lighting and add contrast between the light and dark. It created a very "warm effect" which is what I was aiming for. I also played around with the hue/saturation and brightness tools to adjust the lighting. I think I still need to continue playing around with the tools because it just doesn't fit the way I like it.

# data[].attributes.body
While experimenting with my photograph on PS, I used colour balance, brightness/contrast and the brush tool. The colour balance was used to slightly change the overall hue of the image to what I thought suited it better, while the brightness/contrast was used to bring out the chiaro and scuro more. The brush tool use then used to cover some holes in my black backdrop which looked odd. I attempting to incorporate other techniques from previous classes but as of right now, none fit with photograph.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been playing around with many different tools to use for my photo and this is my progress so far. I've mainly experimented with the layers to adjust the contrast of my image and change what it looks like. I used some tools that we've used for our previous projects such as the curve tool and some new ones like using a variety of layers to change the brightness, hue, saturation, lighting, vibrance and exposure of my image. I wanted to clearly show where the light source is coming from and I think I'll continue to try show the contrast between the light and dark more.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the progress that I have made so far experimenting with the different tools on Photoshop. Currently, I'm experimenting with the contrast of lights and darks in the image using the curves function as I felt like the original photograph didn't have enough contrast between the two. I'm still trying to find different tools that I might possibly use to edit my image as currently I feel like although the contrast is more evident using the curves tool, the bottom section of the image is now too dark and some details aren't visible, such as the grapes.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been experimenting with certain tools that will create contrast between the light and dark within my image. I have used the curves tool to create more darkness and bring out the warm orange tones from the light source. I have played with various filters and layers, but discovered that it made the image quite washed out. I am still experimenting to find new techniques to create a dramatic contrast between the light and shadows.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the progress I've made on my still life image. I mainly wanted to adjust the lighting because in the original image I only had one light source and I think the image would benefit with a bit of brightness. Using photoshop, I played around with brightness, contrast, vibrance, saturation, shadow and highlights. I tried to manipulate the image as much as possible while still keeping neutral/warm tone throughout the piece. I think the image looks much better after playing around with it. The colours of the fruit pop out more and the whole image is a lot brighter. I think the amount of highlights compliments the shadows well and it's a balanced photo.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far, I've mainly been experimenting with the tools and playing around with the brightness and contrast. In my photo it looked better with only one light source coming from the candle making it a bit darker so I've had to play around with the tools to see what looked better.

# data[].attributes.body
this is my progress with experimenting with different tools. I felt that there was not enough contrast between the light and dark; light not bright enough, dark not dark enough, so I added a new layer and used the 'curves' feature to adjust the lighting.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far. I have darkened the shadows and made the photo warmer to look more discoloured like a painting.

# data[].attributes.body
I mainly experimented with all the filters and adjusting the contrast, vibrance, saturation and offset of the image. I wanted the colours of the apples stand out since they were a bold red and I thought it would further enhance the tenebrism I was going for. I wanted the image to have a warm tone so I overlayed it with an orange photo filter and adjusted the density of it so you could just see a hint of orange from the beige cloths. The feeling I am aiming for with this image is a vintage tranditional effect, I am going to continue playing with the effects and layers and see what I can come up with.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my progress so far with playing around with the variety of tools on Photoshop. I first used the 'levels' tool to adjust the brightness intensity of the photograph. I thought the original image was too dimly lit so I made some changes. Afterwards, I recalled he colour balance tool to add different hues to make things more interesting. Then, I modified the hue and saturation just right. Lastly, I changed the brightness and contrast to make sure the chiaroscuro effect is exemplified.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far with my experimentation of different tools on Adobe Photoshop done on my Chiaroscuro still-life image. I felt that the original image I was working with was slightly too light so I added a new layer and used the curves tool to adjust the darkness and create a clearer contrast between the light and dark areas. This also made the colours in the spotlight more vivid and bold, which I think adds a good amount of interest to the picture. Additionally, I added a vignette around the edges as I hoped to not only pull viewers' eyes towards the items in the spotlight rather than having a white wall take up too much space and attention, but also to enhance the ambience and heighten the sense of 'drama' within the image.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with a lot today. The very first thing I did was using the quick select tool, I selected my background. From there I used the solid colour layer and applied a dark brown to it. After which, I overlayed that layer over the original, successfully giving the background a darker and more ethereal look. I also added - using the rectangle tool - a line down where the two walls/ books meet, which had been covered by the solid colour layer. Adding the rectangle gave it that 3D effect that was lost originally. I added an adjustment layer for curves, and fiddled with that for a while. After which I added layers of brightness and vibrance; all three put together (curves, vibrance and brightness) made a beautiful red light from the apple mix with the already present lights on the base.

# data[].attributes.body
I played around with different tools on Adobe Photoshop to add contrast to my photo. I used curves and I also adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the dark and light come together a little more. I put a torch in front when I took the photo which makes the light focus in one area so I'm using to try make it a little darker. Right now, my photo looks really gloomy which is completely opposite to how I intended it to be, so I will keep trying to experiment with the photo and make the light from the torch less obvious as well as keeping my photo light. I would also like the chess board at the back to be brighter because it is barely visible.

# data[].attributes.body
this is my progress so far with me experimenting with different tools. First I thought that the candles in my picture are a little over-exposed so I tried to tone it down a bit with 'Brightness/Contrast'. Later, I felt like the casted shadows were still a bit too bright so I used 'Curves' to make the shadows a bit darker and the light on the wooden mannequin a bit brighter. However I now feel like my picture is way too dark so I'm going to try make it a bit brighter.

# data[].attributes.body
this is my progress so far after playing with different tools on photoshop. I first started off with a curve to further add a contrast between the chart and score. I also played around with the contrast and brightness tool in order to create a bigger difference between the two. I want to further improve on my contrast because it is not as enhanced as I would like it to be.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo when the sun had set and used a black sheet as a backdrop. I used the flashlight on my phone as the light source instead of a candle, which i first planned to use.

# data[].attributes.body
I played around with my image by looking for different textures to use and place in the background to give the image a more rusted and old look that I was going for. I ended up finding a perfect image and added that into the background using the same techniques we used when we were adding a flower over the top of our self-portrait images earlier in term 3. I also played around with the saturation and levels of colour in the image as at some points the red of the apple was too saturated but the image itself was not saturated enough. This did bring up a bit of a challenge as it was difficult to find the right balance between the two but I did some playing around and found some other tools to experiment with which then ended up helping me fix the problem. Then I also adjusted the highlights as the image was a good range of dark but I felt more light could be expressed through the tea cup so I altered the image to make that possible. I am now at a point where I am pretty happy with my image, I may change a few little tweaks or maybe add more texture into the background but overall I am pretty happy with what I have produced.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with different tools to highlight the shadows and add contrast. I used the curves tool that we have also used in our other projects. The light source was coming from the left so I wanted to highlight the shadows that were mainly on the right surrounding the objects. I found that the contrast in shadows was most apparent in the vase on the left, so I wanted to really highlight that too. I also took some more photos of my objects and played with the placement but I ultimately decided on the first arrangement that I had.

# data[].attributes.body
i played around with a few tools this lesson. i tired working with tools to add contrast to my image and to enhance the lighting. I used a new tool called the lighting tool, where i angled the lighting to the angle i wanted and changed the colour of the lighting from the yellow lighting created by a candle to a white clear lighting

# data[].attributes.body
This is my progress so far with editing my still life photo. I played around with finding ways to add contrast to my image, and further creating chiaroscuro. To do this, I recalled the use of 'Curves' in our past projects. Although you can't see the curve pattern I settled on (I merged the visible layers), it helped with illuminating the top right corner. However, I'm not sure whether or not experimenting with 'Curves' over saturated my image. To try and get rid of the orange tones, I changed the type of layer to 'Luminosity' from 'Normal'; but, in turn, I found that I disliked the overall grey tones that this new filter created. Currently, I am sticking with the 'Normal' layer format and will experiment more to find a way in which I can lessen the warm tones. I also used the 'Blur' tool to allow the hourglass to become the main focus of the image. I blurred the sharp lines of the plant in the background, as well as the the statue of the Eiffel Tower.

# data[].attributes.body
These were the items that I decided to use in my photo. I took this photo late at night and used my lamp for the light so it would create a nice shadow. I hung a black cloth in the background to make the contrast between the light and dark aspects of the image more distinct.

# data[].attributes.body
These were the items i decided to use in my photo. I took the photo late at night and opened a light so it created a shadow and the light could illuminate certain areas of the objects.

# data[].attributes.body
These were the items I have used to take my photos. Since the room was quite bright when I took them, I had to pull the curtains and wait until night time. I also used one big candle at the front and a small candle behind the wooden mannequin. The colours of my items are quite plain and dull except for the basket of red apples near the back.

# data[].attributes.body
these were the items I used to take my photos. The wall was already quite dark but I decided to use a black jacket of mine to cover the table and the other wall. I used an old tea set and some oranges to set the scene. I may decide to use some more smaller fruits as the oranges look a bit big and bulky compared to the teapot.

# data[].attributes.body
These are some of the items I will possibly be including in my Chiaroscuro still-life image. I will definitely incorporate a fruit basket but I am still experimenting with the other decorative items to see which combination of items work together the best. I like the look of a wooden table for the items to be positioned upon because it gives an antiquated appearance that is reminiscent of a Chiaroscuro image. I will take my photo during the evening as I hope the dimmer light will create shadows and a sense of 'drama' that really enhances the ambience of the image.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used these items and tools in my captured photos. I've utilised a small cabinet and a black panel. An assortment of fruits and props elevating them. Some candles and a torch as an artificial light source to create the chiaroscuro effect. I do this with closed translucent curtains to allow soft, natural light into the room.

# data[].attributes.body
I used my dining table chair and my living room curtains for a dark background. I used an antique teapot and it's two cups. I placed one cup to look like as if the teapot is about to/has already poured some tea in, for the other cup i laid it flat and put some pebble coming out of it. I then got a gold plate and filled it with fruit. To finalise my setting I added multiple sizes of acorns around my setup for a final touch. For lighting I used my kitchen island pendant lights and I dimmed my downlights; this way they both provided subtle light.

# data[].attributes.body
I am planning to use this item/object for my chiaroscuro project. I would also like to include another item but I have not thought of one yet. When completing, I would change the setting to a place with a window/place with more light to utilise lighting technique.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of the images i have done in my photoshoot. I was going for the perfume commercial vibe were they make the perfume the subject of the image. I did my image in the closet where it was fairly dark, however, the walls were white so i used a black scarf as my background and flooring. I used a few shells, ceramic tiny birds and a diamond shaped perfume. i am doing a tenebrism style for my Chiaroscuro. i want to have my photos zoomed in and landscape. for my lighting i used my computer and searched up "LED light flashes" and selected a video so that my lighting would be coloured and would bring a special effect to the photo. I will also be doing another photoshoot but this time with other items and a white or yellow lighting.

# data[].attributes.body
I will most likely be using this blind I have in my laundry room, that when adjusted correctly, allows multiple rays of light to filter through. I am considering using a fruit basket, but I think it would look rather interesting with the items already in the laundry, like some towels, cleaning brushes, cleaning solutions, and a running tap with foam and bubbles in the basin of the sink. Hopefully there will be dust particles flying in the rays (there usually are) so that I can add a bit of extra movement to the photo.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the items I am planning to include in this project. The light source I've decided to use are some candles and I'll have to test them to see where to put them to make them look
better. The background is close to beige but I might change the location of the objects if it looks better with a darker background. I have decided to add some fruit and flowers to the
photo but I will add more items that I can find which will match the mood of the photo

# data[].attributes.body
These are the items I am thinking of using for my project. The items I used is a vase, a candle, a fake plant and a bunch of fake fruits. I'm planning on using the candle as a light source, and taking the photo later at night to add a bit of a dramatic effect to the image. This isn't the main setup, so I'm going to play around with it later and see what fits best.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the set up I have in mind for my photograph. I’ve gone with quite a neutral colour palette but I’be broken the conformity with the addition of greenery and a few brightly coloured fruits. I feel as though the arrangement isn’t as cohesive as I would like so as the sunlight starts coming through the window adjacent to the set up, I’ll decide if i want to remove the left portion and just keep the fruit bowl. I may incorporate a few candles later in the day to play around with the lighting in this area.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of the photos I might use for my project. The items I used in this photo are some fruits, a plant and  a coral decoration?. Originally, there was only the fruits and plant but it was too plain so I wanted to incorporate some more colours thus i added the coral decoration. I think I'm going to experiment more with the set up and items before deciding what's best. For this, I have used the light from the window ad my light source which formed some shadows. I would like to try different lighting and light source to see what I like.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the set up for my still life photograph that will be taken shortly. I've utilised orchids and fruits to have different pops of colour. My light will either be a torch or a candle, from behind a corner to give the chiaroscuro effect of light and dark. Black objects such as books, clothing and more have been used as a backdrop. I will close all the blinds to create a dark environment for the photograph. I would like to play around with the background, perhaps adding a vase behind to enhance the atmosphere (not so bland).

# data[].attributes.body
These are some items I am planning to incorporate in my still life photograph. I have used the window on the right as a light source, which was able to form a few shadows. I have included candles in my photograph to create shadow between the objects. However, I am still experimenting with chiaroscuro. I would like for my image to have more shadow and contrast, so I might take my image later at night and find more alternative light sources. I also want to experiment with the composition and see if more darkness is created if I move it around. I took my photo in portrait, however, I might change to landscape to see if more shadow is created.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to create a pink and white theme for this chiaroscuro image. Initially I was going to use the salt lamp as lighting hoping it would create a soft orange glow. But it wasn’t bright enough so I decided to use it as prop within the image. But later on I might try in a darker setting to see if the orange glow can add to the aesthetic rose gold colour theme. I couldn’t find any aesthetically pleasuring fruits but I might try to use some leaves to add a sort of border to the group of objects. I will also try to find a setting with a darker background to contrast the soft coloured objects.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a vague set up that I have in mind for my Chiaroscuro image. I haven't yet decided or arranged which fruits I plan to use for my final product but I plan to include the both the flowers and fruit for a variety of heights in the image. I'm using the light from an altar in my house (I've checked to make sure it's not offensive in any way) as I thought the red light gave off an interesting warmth to the image and I don't really have any candles. I'm still experimenting with which angles I want the image to be at along with whether my image will be portrait or landscape. I'm also planning to wait a couple more hours for when it gets dimmer in my house in order for the chiaro and scuro to be more contrasting.

# data[].attributes.body
The objects that I plan to use in my Chiaroscuro project will fit into a black, white and purple colour theme. Although I want the lighting contrast to be dramatic, I do not want it to be too gloomy. I believe I will take the photo during the day time, utilising the natural light from my kitchen window, and need to find a black backdrop to use, too.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the items I'm planning on including in my Chiaroscuro project, although I'm not sure if it is too scattered or not. I have included brighter tones such as pink, orange and red and have slightly edited the photo to have more saturation and shadow. My light source comes from the window seen in the mirror, candles and a phone flashlight I had my brother hold. My background consists of a white wall and a tinted mirror as I thought the dark tint would create a dark effect. However I'm concerned that there isn't enough contrast between the chiaro and scuro (light and dark.) In particular I'm not sure if my photo has enough shadows.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are some items that I am thinking of incorporating into my still life photograph. I have used the window as my light source. I will wait until later this evening to try and create a darker and more dramatic lighting and maybe add some fruits to the photo. I will also move the objects and see what works best for the composition. I might change the background somewhere else.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the things i will be incorporating in my Chiaroscuro based image; a vase of nearly dead flowers, a candle and clear-teapot. I have chosen these items for specific reasons being that the vase of dead flowers, gave a droopy sense to the setup, the candle to add a lighting source and the teapot i thought it would look cool when lighting is shone through and create reflections. As for the background, I will be using a more plain dark background to accentuate the dark ambience and ensure the subjects are dramatised with my choice of lighting.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the flowers and place where I want the photo to be. Since the table is in a corner and there is a big window on the right, it will be easy to create a shadow contrast. I will have to find some fruit to go with the flowers and arrange them in a suitable way. I will wait until it is evening to shine a flashlight to create more dramatic shadows.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the basic set up for my photo. The light source will be from my light stand and I will test out if the lighting is better with my room light on or off. The background is white, but I may change the location of it as my light stand is portable. The colours are quite contrasting so I will add more items that have neutral colours that I can find arounf the house

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the general overall setup I am going to have for this project. I just realised that there is a slight filter on this picture which I will definitely get rid of when I am taking the actual photos. I was shining a flashlight on the objects I chose which consists of fuits, a metronome, tea set as well as a moon cake, just so I could figure out how I was going to create shadows. My brother helped hold up a black jacket since I didn't have dark cardboard and I placed pieces of beige coloured cloth over the table since I found out that the glass made really unpleasant reflections in the first few takes. There is a wide assortment of colour from the objects which I am happy with and I am satisfied with the placement of the objects.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the things i am planning to include in my photo. This is in my kitchen and right next to the photo there is a window as my light source and the corner of the kitchen also provides slight darkness. I experimented with the blinds and I thought this was the best scenario as its not too dark but there is also light. I used black tea towels to make a dark background. I used the curves tool to lighten the fruits and darken the bench slightly and it was a different type of black to the tea towels.

Chiaroscuro Stilllife (11 Oct 2020 at 1_26 pm)

# data[].attributes.body
Here are some items that I am thinking of incorporating into my still life photograph. I'm going to use the small red candle at the front as my light source which should form shadows at the back around the other objects. I will wait until tomorrow morning during recess to try get a good photo when we have more light coming from the window to create more shadows and a more dramatic look. I will need to play around with the composition and angles to see what suits the image best.

# data[].attributes.body
I have two different themes that I would like to try to see which one turns out better.
The first theme is old and antique.
These are the items that I would like to incorporate into my still life photo. These items have an antique theme and I am planning to set them out on the ground with a black background. I have yet to find a suitable place to take the picture. I think I could also incorporate a candle into the photo to give it a more old and gloomy look. I would have to cut down on the items that I have chosen because I don't want the photo to look too crowded.
The second theme is a more modern theme and these are the items that I would like to use. I would like to set them up on a white table however I haven't found an appropriate place yet. I have thought of the placement of the items. I'm planning to have the chess at the back, the books in the front left, the glasses on top of the book, the apple next to the books, the coffee cup in the front right and the origami stars scattered around. In contrast with the other theme, I am aiming for a fresh bright look with this photo.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the few items I am looking to explore for my finished photograph. The objects are a variety of potted plants on my lounge drawer. The light source I used was natural lighting from the window across it. I played around with the lighting by pulling the blinds up and down. I found the effect to be interesting and I kept fiddling with it until I thought it looked decent. I will probably add more of a warm tone and increase the contrast in the editing process so it emphasises the chiaroscuro effect. Not only that, but I will incorporate the photography principles we learnt in class to make it a more finished piece.

These are a few items I plan to incorporate in my Chiaroscuro project. My light source comes from the window located on my right source. To add a more focused difference between the shadow and light, I added a candle. My background consist of plain whites and grey. The hints of colour coming from the apples and lemons are focused due to its darker colours. This makes it dominant to our eyes so I plan to add them to contrast with the overall atmosphere. I am still on the progress of adjusting the arrangement of my objects. I also want to experiment with the lighting and how I can create a more intense contrast between the shadow and light.

Here are some items that I have chosen to incorporate into my project. As my light source, I used my window on the left. I tried to explore different ranges of height by adding objects on top of one another. I have also experimented with the placement of the objects. Most of my objects are white however I tried to add some colour by placing a jar of wrapped candy. I'm going to experiment some more with the light source by waiting for sunset and seeing if anything changes. I haven't decided an arrangement for my objects yet so it might change in the future.

These are the few items I want to incorporate in my still life photograph. I really went with a gold and ancient chique(?) theme. I like how the items are placed, however, I do think that the light is overpowering, especially in regards to the ethereal mood I aim for. I suspect, I will need a black backdrop. I also found that the light source in this photo didn't provide the warmth I was hoping for, and so aim to change that by experimenting with the time of sunset. Candles are also an option. I do like the shadows, but I really want the light to hit off of all the metallic and gold areas in some of these items, I want them to be noticeable. I did experiment with a narrower frame for this photo, but decided to have it landscape. I have more decisions to make.

I have chosen these objects from around my house to really explore and I like the range of heights the different objects provide as well as the neutral tones throughout the pieces. I have used the light from the candle as well as a yellow light to the left side of the image to cast the shadow across the photograph. The yellow light I used really gave the piece a soft look that I was going for rather than a bright white light. I put black paper around the objects to really experience the lights and darks of the image. I am playing around with the editing of the photo as I like the composition but the colours I feel could be more warm to get the effect that I am going for.
