This photograph was taken for my personal project 'Close ups'. This photograph is of a perfume bottle and has used very soft lighting to create a very sophisticated photograph. The idea of photographing a close up picture of a perfume bottle with it standing against a white back drop is very simple. However the simple idea is what makes it a very stunning photograph. The lighting from the light box allows the perfume to look very surreal and creates a marbles texture that can be seen from the close up nature of the photograph. Lastly the soft lighting allows the shiny texture of the bottle reflect and create very aesthetically pretty colors.

This photograph was taken as my last personal project shoot 'Close up'. This photograph is close up of a perfume bottle and the lighting was key in this photograph to make sure the object stands out. The lighting I used was the light box which the perfume was standing on to boost the lighting of the perfume. I also used to blonde lights which reflected of white backdrops. This was done to make sure that the photograph didnt come out too dark. I really like the angle of this photograph this is because I captured it from a low angle to show the spirals downwards. This allows the photograph to look more interesting and makes the photograph look more complex. Furthermore the bright pinks and purples in this photograph are emphasized because of the technique close up used. This photograph is very bold and catches my eye straight away.

If I would go back add more to this shoot I would of taken photographs without the perfume in the bottles to show how I experimented more with the objects.
The idea of the perfume shoot was influenced from previous shoots I had one. For example the food coloring shoot used reflection to make very bold and surreal photographs. I feel that the reflecting perfume bottles gives the same feel as the food coloring photographs however shows how my creative thinking had developed in my close up project.

 This photograph was taken for my personal project close up photography. The aim of this shoot was to allow the textures of the nail varnishes to stand out using the close up lens and very bright lighting. The reason I chose bright lighting is so that it brings the variety of colours out and also brings out the marble effect of the varnish in the bottles. I especially like how the nail varnishes are in a row and the I had captured the photograph positioning the camera diagonal to the nail varnish allowing a depth to be shown. This also makes the sizes of the nail varnishes different to show a variety of levels to make the photograph more interesting. This shoot was a very successful shoot and I am very happy with the outcomes. However to improve this photograph I could of used more nail varnishes to emphasise the depth of the row of nail varnishes more.

This photograph was also taken for my personal project close up and is a photograph of three bottles of nail varnish. The reason I chose these three colours was because they all complement each other as the pale colours emphasise the prettification that fine art/ close up photograph brings to photographs. The positioning of the nail varnishes allow the pink nail varnish to be shown very boldly and be the main focus of the photograph because the whole of the product is in focus and the pink colour is very bright which makes this photograph even more appealing for its audience. The other two nail varnishes are partly hidden this is to show nail varnishes in a more interesting way instead of in a accurate row. Furthermore if I would improve this photograph I would of taken the photograph using the white and blue as the main focuses to see which colour looks aesthetically better as the main focus.

If I would go back and add to this shoot I would of taken more photographs to give myself more of a variety to edit. I would also taken more birds eye view shots as all the ones I took were not a success in my eyes.

This photo shoot was influenced from previous photographs that I had done. This is because the idea of the food coloring shoot creating a liquid effect made me really interested in this idea as the photographs were very successful. Therefore the connection I made was that the liquid in nail varnish would show this in a different way to get an outcome of a man made product combined with the texture of liquids to overall summaries my close up project.
