Personal shoot 11- work Diary

 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.
