For my still life project I choose to shoot my favorite sport which is basketball and I brought in little things that helped me portray it. I brought in a stuffed basketball that matched the medallion, two trophies, and my warm up jersey for the school team. I pinned up the warm up jersey for the background and shot from all different angles on each photo , playing with the appeture on the second photo with having the ball in focus with the background a blur.All of these objects represent the sport itself and some of the awards I have received. My arrangement of the objects is very well balanced and for the first photo I went from smallest to tallest then I played around each time for the set up. For all of my photos I had two light beams shining on my objects from both sides. Sometimes creating shadow on the jersey from the trophies. I manipulated the light to emphasize every object and for nothing to be left in the darkness. I wanted every object to be showcased and shined on brightly.
