Still Life Practise 24/10/17

In our photography workshop, we were working with still life, arranging objects and practicing basic lighting techniques. We experimented with multiple objects but focused more on the traditional still life subjects, flowers and fruit. The challenge of the first image was to make sure the background and subject were clearly separate, despite being of a very similar colour. We did this by changing the lighting on the petals to make them appear brighter.

The second image was taken using different artificial lighting to the first, therefore making the background appear darker. We were attempting to enhance the contrast between the bright orange and the dark inside of the glass.
