Personal shoot 12- work dairy

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.
