Foodie

This week, we had an in-class photoshoot of food! Of course, I took lots of pictures around the classroom of food. There were 8 total stations set up with various types of food. For example. one  table was covered in candy while another had vegetables. Setting up my scene was the most difficult part of the photoshoot. As an artist, I was to focus on both the scene and the lighting I applied to it. Mrs. Hahn taught us to set up our objects in the shape of a pyramid to make it most interesting. As always, I focused on using the rule of thirds. I enjoyed working with reflective food such as the frosting on this doughnut and water droplets on vegetables. I used my voice with the simplicity of the images I took. Now when I look at food, I see the interesting shapes and angles that would make for a great photo. I didn't have many strengths. One problem with this photoshoot, in my opinion, is that everyone takes pictures of the same subject. This makes it extremely difficult to show my voice through my images. My weakness was setting up the scene. I was pretty bad at making the food look yummy when I piled it up. If I could change this photoshoot, I would make more stations with less food and different lighting at each to create more of a variety.
