Ball of Light Photographer
This photo is appealing to me as a beginner photographer because Denis Smith takes a traditional photo and adds a new dimension with a "Ball of Light".
Throughout this semester, I learned many different types of photography and techniques. In the above picture, it shows my initial photography goal. This was a type of painting with light that requires the subject to create 3-D ball. This technique is difficult to do, especially for beginning photographers. So, I was unable to do this. Although I did not meet my goal, I learned many more types of photography that I learned to love.
This by far my favorite photo that I have produced all year. I also edited this in Photoshop. I really like this photo because it's so simple. The whole background is black, and the white bowl really contrasts the black. You can also see every detail and bubble in the chip, including the different seasonings in the chips. I also like the how the tomatoes are clear and they look very fresh.
My favorite lesson was shooting food because we used a spot light and I love shooting into spot lights. It makes the subject pop out. We used spotlights and tables with black or white fabric. I was fascinated with being able to see the texture in the food just with the camera.
