#ordinaryobject

I wanted to make this sewer look a little more unique by focusing more on the rust and wear of tear of the metal than adding a foreign object. I was really happy with how the depth of filed looks on the leaves!

I had an assignment that required me to take photos of a sewer. I wanted to make the sewer look unique by pointing out the rust and the wear and tear of the metal. This assignment taught me how to direct the attention to a certain subject better, as well as to getting a more organized workflow on both Lightroom and Photoshop.

This ordinary spray bottle that is white and of hard plastic lies next to a pond in between dull dry tall grass and warm colored leaves that are crunchy upon touch.

An ordinary object such as this spray bottle lies lost in dry and moist gritty tan colored sand as if it was a found relic.

In this project, we were to take an ordinary everyday object, and make photograph it in different elements. In the first picture, I showed the cup on a street symbolizing the morning and how we all get up and drink coffee on our way to work or school. The second image symbolizes a similar feeling of the waking up in the morning and having your coffee on your porch and the color starts to fill the world as you wake up. In the first image, I blurred the background with a large aperture to let in more light and lose the detail to focus on the mug, whereas in the second image I used a small aperture to capture as much detail on the bush as possible to show the contrast between the colorful textured plant against the flat, white mug.
