More Still Life Experiments.

When I first brought my ornaments into the studio I came up with a great idea about how ib was going to photograph them and what the outcome was going to be like.. I then through out the shoot wanted to do more silhouetting of the animal because I thought that would look better.. but through out the shoot with those ideas my freat plan and ideas didnt really have the same outcome I wanted it to have.
 
 This is one of the images which i think is strong.. I think that the position of it is well and I also like these type of images because of the huskness of the shadow on the side, I think to improve this image I should have picked a better animal which had a better shadow which can really excell.

The thing about this image as well is that you have to edit the box it was standing on as it is not perfectly painted white and if this was to be left how it is and have no editing made to it then it could be a distraction to the viewer of the image.
 

I then started to focus on the animal that I liked the most, the elephant on its own..

When I first started taking photographs of my still life I wanted the elephant to be on its own as there was so much to look at..

This was the first image I wanted to talk about, I used the elephant and moved it closer to the camera and more distant in other shots. 
 
 

 My next image made me think of a radical change, I thought to myself I wanted to do something a bit more spicy and normal.. I wanted to create a scene of imagination where you wouldnt normally see this happen..

I had a thought and placed some cotto bud under the elephant which took me back to a earlier piece of work i was working on called 'winter seagull' I thought that I would put this elephant in the same conditions and give the viewer a different look on elephants..

As per I have experimented with composititons what it is like with the ornament far away and close up to give a bit of variation..

 

 

With the cotton wool in place then i started to take the photos of the elephant at the side and mainly in the middle and I lowered the camera down to its level so it felt like were were on the same level terms.

I think if I had the camera positon above it looking down or from the side a little bit higher, the feel of the make up environment wouldnt real exist. But thinking of ideas now if I did have the camera facing down like an animal shot surroyunding by this snow looking area it would look like a panormaic but the whole scene would have to be convered in cotton wool otherwise it would just look like a studio floor.

 These images are screen shots from me editing the images. I have turned the elephant into a almost looking winter wonderland shot. I added the creative snow to the image and deep dark frost feeling. When I continued to edit this image I noticed you could add little bits of animation to the image so I decided to play around and see what it'd be like with them on.. I think it works really well and would maybe consider using the image below as a real image. Not just an experiment.
