Place
The places that I decided to photograph ended up relating to each other, although I didn't exactly intend them to. The three bottom photos were taken at home and have a sort of sentimental/ homey feel for me. They include my great grandmother's first piece of furniture (with another great grandmother's framed Bible verse in german), a wind chime hanging from a tree in the back yard, and one of my mom's bonsai trees on the deck. The first photo is taken of a building on campus, but something about it still feels like it belongs with the set.
For the bonsai tree, I wanted to make the tree seem bigger than what it is--- like it creates a space, rather than being part of a space and that you could just go and sit underneath it. I really like how the lighting and texture turned out
The wind chime was to demonstrate a fast shutter speed. I had a lot of trouble with this photo though. I wanted to bring out the wind chime from the background, but when I increased the contrast, the light on the left side of the photo began to become very washed out.
I really enjoyed the texture that the cabinet had, and wanted to bring out as much of it as possible. This photo ended up having an antique feeling to it, which I think is pretty accurate. I chose this for the prompt that asked to create a narrative. Antiques have so many stories to tell, so this photo seemed like a natural choice.
The final image is looking in from the outside of the MSU Alumni Chapel. I really liked the contrast between the orderly vase of flowers and the wild ivy, as well as the reflection of the tree that is cast on the window.
