Work Record- Shoot 5

In todays lesson I did a studio shoot to show contrast. I used coffee beans as they are dark brown & then I placed a vibrant green M&M on top to show the contrast between the two. I used soft lighting to create no shadows. I also used the boom light which allowed me to take the photographs from above as the light was from above. 

If I was to do this shoot again I would experiment with different coloured M&M's as I only used the green one. I would also experiment with making a multiple imagery piece. 

In this photograph I have used dark coffee beans and a bright M&M to show contrast. I have only included one single M&M as I believe it has a better effect when looking at the image, it draws the eye to the position of the M&M. The photograph being a close up image allows you to see the detail on the coffee beans and the letter 'm' on the M&M. I used soft lighting. 
If I was to take this photograph again I would experiment with different angles that I could take the photographs from. 

This photograph again shows contrast between the dark coffee beans and the vibrant green M&M. I used soft lighting to create no shadows. I took this photograph from directly in front of the subject, therefore the coffee beans look more 3D rather than 2D in the above photograph. 
If I was going to take this photograph again I would use different coloured M&M's to show variety within the shoot.

Inspiration: 

My inspiration for this shoot came from a photograph that I found on google when looking at contrast images. I liked how it was simple but interesting & I liked the use of dark and vibrant colours. My inspiration for looking into contrast within photography came from my previous shoot of paint as I liked the contrast between the different coloured paint.

As a result of this shoot I am going to look into experimenting with contrast & colour through the use of M&M's as I liked the variety of colours & how vibrant they were.
