Narrative Still Life

Original + Vignette
 Black and White + Vignette
 Duotone (Purple and Black) + Vignette
1. I picked each object in this picture to represent an individual aspect of my life. The baseball because I play ball here for Cal. The guitar pick and FOOL bracelet because I play music in a band called FOOL. The keychain has a plastic raisin and a piece of leather, trinkets from my grandparents house that I carry to remind myself of them. The keychain also has a Fitness 19 card because I spend a lot of time training there. The lock is there to show that I am also an average high school student. All these items rest upon a notebook which I have begun to carry to school which I use to doodle in and cultivate any creativity I have.
2. I really like the lighting of the image. The side lighting isn't too harsh and adds very aesthetically pleasing shadows.
3.The photo uses shape and value very well. The objects pop because of their 3-D nature and contrast of lightness and darkness. I use emphasis in my photo with the side lighting directly on the baseball making it pop more than other items.
4. I could have worked on having a better setup. I didn't use an interesting background.
5.I hope most of my items will stay relatively the same. I don't think baseball will still be very prevalent in my life. I also won't be using a school locker anymore.

Quiksilver Advertisement

1. I used my hat because it was the easiest product I had on my person.
2. I wanted to keep my advertisement simple and sleek and I think I have achieved this. I did this through a simple design, straightforward slogan and uncluttered design.
3. I used front lighting with a diffuser and went for a black on blue color scheme.

Words to Photo


Still Life

DSLR Black and White:
DSLR Color:
 iPhone Picture:
My still life represents what I carry on an average day.
I used diffused lighting in my iPhone picture but I used direct lighting in my DSLR picture.
I could have improved my composition by getting more of a direct overhead view.
