Experimentation

 

 

The first item I found for this brief was a nice watch, now this was a little too formal for this brief and all I could think of was doing product photography. This was a little too boring and formal. I decided to scrap this idea and try something else that would be more interesting, so I am going to leave my experiments below. The images linked are sort of average. Shot under two studio lights and a fill flash unit on top of my camera. The studio lights emit a light of 5500k which is quite cold and are pretty bright in that sense, they gave some decent results.

 

I also had some old battered headphones lying around, so I thought they could work quite well and I also found a weird googly eyed pot with a lid that looks like a hat so I used them to see how they worked and to be honest. I hated the look they gave. They didn’t go together and they sort of clashed with one another. The materials that they’re made of clashed in a bad way, so this idea that I had totally gone out of the window and straight into the bin.

What I liked about this image, was the way in which the depth of field played a part in capturing you. it is basic product photography which isn’t a bad thing, just that the image is very plain. I originally took this image as a landscape image but soon realised it made more sense that it was portrait, even if the image looks like it is floating.

I really liked this shot of the watch, the monochrome pallet of the shirt and backdrop really draw your attention to the watch face which has gold tones to it. The backdrop was originally blue but I felt that with some editing I could make the piece more cohesive.
