This week in class I was tasked with taking 30 photographs of one single inanimate object. Also being able to play with the lighting, angle, aperture, and different points of view. For this project I used a small desk statue of a gorilla I had in my home office.
In the first photo I took of my gorilla statue I took it at an angle so that I could show the different light direction and quality. For this photo you can see that on one side it is much darker and on the other side where the light is hitting gives the image more texture. To create this effect I also used a desk lamp I had in my room and turned off the overhead lighting while still making sure I was shooting in manual mode.
In photo 2 I took a different approach on the angle in this photo. I wanted to shoot more of the gorilla statues face and front. I did indeed edit this photo in Adobe lightroom. This gave me a chance to play with some cool tools we learned about in class this week. Some tools that I used included the cropping tool to cut down my image and focus more on my object. I used some tone tools including exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows,whites,and blacks.
In photo 3 of my object i did use lightroom to tweak something here and there but I didn't want to do a whole lot because I wanted to show the viewer that one of the main differences in this photo aside from the photo angle was that I took this photo with the overhead lighting in my room on versus the last photo. If you look closely you would be able to see the direction from where the light is coming from creating the shadow in the background.
