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.
Both of these images are better than what you showed in class....ya' know? Of course, your house is full of images IF you just start looking.
