Work Diary personal shoot 2

This photograph is for my second personal shoot under my project brief close up.The reason I chose to photograph coloring pencils was because the vibrant colors that they each contain has shown to enhance using the technique closeup.I really like the way I have organised the pencils in this photograph because its a very simple vertical line however the depth and angle I have taken this in makes this photograph look very professional. In addition this photograph was edited by adjusting the curves and levels by doing this made the color burst with brightness and made them stand out hugely. Overall i'm very happy with this photograph and feel its a step better than my first personal shoot.

This photograph was taken for my second personal shoot and shows the technique close up's using the coloring pencils positioned in a circle allowing the colored led to meet in the center. This produces a striking pattern and also is a fascinating way to photograph ordinary coloring pencils.Furthermore the way I edited this photograph was first of all I adjusted the curves and levels to enhance the brightness of the colored led and then converted the photograph to black and white. After this I used the rubber tool to remove the black and white layer and show the colored original layer. Overall I am very happy with this photograph and feel that it meets the requirements of my brief very well.

If I would go back to this shoot and add more the things that I would improve on and add would be taking more photographs to experiment with animation for example different shapes and to improve on my shoot I would of gathered more pencils to make the photographs even more colorful and better.

The idea of this shoot was derived from the idea of using a man made object to show the contrast from the previous shoot which was my first personal shoot capturing nature. These photographs also show the development of the close up technique that I learnt prior to this persona project. The improvements are in the detail of the texture, tones and how the colors are seen sharper and more vibrant. This shoot gave me a idea for the future to photograph different man made objects to edit in a selective color effect to emphasize the features of the objects.
