I've never really set up a picture much before, but I couldn't help play with the color scheme in my room (and my obsession with wine). I still have a lot of work to do. When I do candids, I don't care about the background, I try to keep it as raw as possible, but here, it was really hard to get everything right. I had to crop most of the photos, and it didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to. I'm really not sure where my fascination with wine comes from, or why it inspires me so much. I guess I just think its really beautiful. I started by just taking pictures of it on my floor. Then I noticed the pipe of my hookah was beside it, and the colors matched up. I also realized my futon has a similar color scheme, so placed it on there instead of the grey floor. I love earthy tones so most of the colors in my room play off of these (Red, yellow/gold, and green). Like the pictures I took right outside my house, I was surprised how many shots I could take in my own house. I tend to look far for a good shot- and have only recently realized that I've been limiting myself by choosing to travel to find photography. We'll see where it goes from here. For now, I am enjoying playing with still- lifes and other objects in my house. For lighting purposes, I'll probably start moving them outside of my house too.
