Still Life Shoot Evaluation

Still Life Shoot Evaluation

For this task we had to do a still life shoot based on the RGB and CMYK. I tried to take photos all of the colours and using a mute pale background to help the colour and the main object of my image stand out more.

Photo 1, Red Paper Clip

This is one of my bed photos for this shoot because its well-focused and the background is pale and mute like I wanted so it stands out really well. I like the angle of this photo I feel like you can see everything really well and I like how the object fills the whole page but isn’t cramped in. I think because this was taken on a pale painted window sill and because of all the light coming though makes the photo a lot brighter and help the pale background no look so harsh.

Photo 2, Pens

I have only taken 2 photos of these pens but the first one if my favourite because you can really see the detail on the pens and I think this has a lot to do with the bold black background and it really makes the pens look like they are jumping out of the page. I think the lighting for this photo is gradient and not as intense as all the other photos I have taken, so this adds a little mystery and makes the photo jump out compared to my other images. I think because this photo is taken so that you are looking down on the image and because of the lines on the pens this really helps it look 3D. I don’t think I would change anything about this photo, I think that it is really interesting to look at and if I changed anything it would spoil the photo and it wouldn’t look as good anymore.  I think that some of the best photos are the ones you don’t think about too much.
