Food Photography #3

Strong Composition
This has strong composition, as it is portraying the rule of thirds and odds. With the
odd number of cupcakes and the placing of the cupcakes on the invisable grid lines.

Use of Colour
There are many colours in this picture. They all compliment and contrast each other nicely with
the different greens and the orange and red popping from that. As well as the subtle orange
hidden underneath.

Shallow Depth
It's really close into the timbits. The powder and the coconut flakes are visible giving
the picture the texture of the donuts. All different flavors are visible in the poping purple
bowl in the backgroung.

Large Depth
This is a picture from a little further away. It works for this photo because of the background, it's
almost telling a story as well. A story of the forbidden apple, or whatever; apples are very
symbolic for some reason.

Strong Scene
I like this photo because it has a nice scene going around it. The knife and the basket behind it.
A nice afternoon snack awaiting to be eaten.

Favourite Food
This was my favourite food photo, only because I love Vickies chips. Therefore
this photo is the best. It gives a nice picture of their texture and crunchiness. Yum!

Food Photography #2

I wish I had a better background, like a bowl to put the chips in. Or it would be cool
as an action shot if the chips were falling into a bowl. Also I wish the shadow of the
bag wasn't there. I think it would look better if there was more texture to the
chip as well. Though there is texture and the shapes of the chip portray it as
crunchy. Mmm, still looks good.


List of items:

1. Tripod
2. Bread
3. Tomatoes
4. Apples
5. Green peppers (if I have any)
6. Pretty plates
7. Meat (if I can)
8. fork & knife ^
The only thing I would change with this picture is the light coming from the back from the outside.
Also the light coming off the plate. And ultimately, the shadow casting from the plate. Other than
that it looks absolutely delicious!

The Tree Climber (Fake Movie Poster Assignment)

I first came up with the idea of having someone hanging from a tree. Then I took a photo of myself hanging
off the school stiaryway railings and then a photo of trees around the school. I put them together to create
this fake movie poster. The colours of this poster are intended to having thrilling effect with the green background
and the dramatic red title. I've also added some complimentary colours as well as a few similar.

DIY Photography


The Peephole

                The peephole is a filter like product used to make the picture appear from behind a door. I personally like this DIY product; it is original and adds a cool effect. It gives more focus to the photo begins taken.  It depends on what kind of photographer one might be and how they like to take photos. There are probably better filters within cameras and things like fisheye that probably have a better outcome. I rate this 4/5
How to make it:
1.       Find an empty toilet or paper towel roll (the cardboard at the end of use)
2.       Cut about an inch off one of the ends
3.       Sharpie the inside of the roll to get rid of the brown colour
4.       Put it around your lens
5.       Take a picture

The Blur

                The blur is a filter DIY product used to make the picture appear blurry or mystic. It’s not the best filter but it’s an original and easy idea. It depends on what kind of photographer one might be and how they like to take photos. There are probably better filters within cameras and that have a blur option that probably has a better outcome. This is a cheap free option anyone can use. I rate this 2.5/5
How to make it:
1.       Find a camera to use
2.       Turn on the camera
3.       Breathe on the lens fogging up the view
4.       Wait 2 seconds to let the fog evaporate (this allows the photo to be blurry without not seeing anything)
5.       Take a picture
