painting gerberas with light

For our flower assignment I decided to use the painting with light technique we learned in class last week. The technique gave me the effect I wanted for these images, but I am not entirely satisfied with the results. (I'm excited to start doing studio portraits).

I didn't time myself well enough for the shot below, but I like how the weird lighting turned out

fruit photography

Eventually I got bored with the inanimate fruit and decided to do silly portraits with oranges/grapefruits

food photography - soup

For these images I bought a green cardboard so I could have a colored background instead of the simple black, grey or white. The color green that it turned out in the images looked too much like a green screen for movies. So I came up with two versions of colored backgrounds:

This one is my favorite. I think the soft green balances out the more vibrant green of the parsley and the bright orange as well.

I like this color too, but I think that's just because I like the color and not because it actually works with the image. :)

I'm really unsatisfied with the results of my photos. Shooting glass is a lot harder than I expected! Or maybe my set-up was wrong. But either way, I hope I can one day improve my glass-shooting skills.
