Shooting books for my formal still life was a challenge. Books can be very square and boring, so I tried to come up with compositions and angles that would make the books look more interesting. I think I achieved this by utilizing rule of thirds, black and white, and focusing on small parts of the book, rather than the entire thing. Throughout the shooting, I came up with better ways to show originality in the pictures, and I think that they ended up exactly how I wanted them to.
While taking pictures for my informal still life, I had to come up with new ways to shoot ordinary things. I tried to find things throughout my house that I see every day, and try and photograph them from a view or an angle that I have never seen them from before. At the same time as I was looking for new angles, I was also trying to implement the ideas that we have already covered in class, such as leading lines and rule of thirds. Overall, I think that shooting informal still lifes was a challenging but fun experience to see something ordinary in a new way.
