Personal shoot 6- Work Diary

 This photograph was taken for my personal project. The brief for my personal project is close up's which is shown as one of the techniques I had learnt before beginning this project. The vibrant colours in this photograph stand out to me because it grabs my attention straight away. This creates this photograph to look very eye catching and fun to look at. Furthermore the close up technique also brings out the texture of the orange slice very well. This is because of how close the detail is in the photograph which allows the delicate and juicy texture to be hilighted in this photograph. In addition I really like the framing of this photograph because it only captures the centre of the fruit which makes the orange the main focus. This makes this photograph even more eye catching because there is no distractions from the close up image. Overall I really like how this photograph turned out and feel that it is one of my strongest photographs in this shoot.

This photograph was also taken for my project brief close ups and is a photograph of a collection of orange slices. The editing process of this photograph was very easy however the outcome in my eyes looks very complex. To begin with I adjusted the curves and levels to create a very bright and vibrant photograph. Then I made a new layer and converted the image to black and white. This made it possible for me to rub out the black and white colour in the centre orange to show its beaming colour to begin with. The reason I chose to to keep the colors of the center orange is because that's where the viewers eyes are drawn to straight away therefore making this the main focus of the photograph.

I feel that this shoot went very well however if I would go back and improve this shoot I would of spent more time photographing as well as taking more photographs to give me a wider choice. Lastly I would of focused more on the melon as the vibrant colors I feel would work better for my project brief.

This shoot was influenced by the previous shoot that I took. This is because the previous shoot capturing sweets close up in my opinion wasn't one of my best shoots. Therefore I wanted to improve the shoot however by using a different food group. This is why I chose fruit as again I knew the tones and texture would create a very good close up selection of photographs.
