Work Record- Shoot 7

In todays lesson I did another studio shoot to show colour. I used vibrant pink doughnuts as I found that this was commonly done by the photographer Martin Parr and I wanted to do it in my own way. I used a white background and high key lighting in order to create a soft lighting with no shadows. This highlighted the vibrant pink icing on the doughnuts. 
If I was to do this shoot again I would experiment with included more of the background like in Martin Parr's photography but have a table cloth as this also brings colour into the photographs. 


In this photograph I used two pink doughnuts to show colour through food. I placed one of them onto of the other to create a 3D effect to the image. I used a white background & high key lighting to create soft lighting. 
If I was to take this photograph again I would experiment with different angles I could take the photograph from. 
This photograph shows contrast between the black & white areas & then the pink sprinkles. I did this during the editing process to highlight the vibrant pink colour of the sprinkles. I took the image from a high angle to show the subject from above. 
If I was to take this photograph again I would experiment with making an animation, maybe have the doughnut being eaten, one piece at a time. 

Inspiration: 

My inspiration for this shoot came from my previous shoot of showing colour through the use of food but also as I've been looking into Martin Parr's photography & I found he shows colour through food photography & I specifically liked his cake/doughnut photography. 

As a result of this shoot I feel that I have gone as far as I can with showing colour through the use of food & would like to experiment with different more unique ideas for future shoots.
