Hey everyone!
So, I decided I would start with the food project and ponder on the other idea a little longer. I spent some time this week researching a few foods that I wanted to get started with photographing this weekend. Well, a combination of the grocery shortage and the winter storm did put a damper in some selections and my lights were not wanting to sync with my new camera, but I made it work. I technically only photographed two items, but I shot a lot to get in the flow of it. Here are a few to show (may not be final selects) and I also included some fun facts about the food item.
The earliest traces of bread are found in history around 8000 BC in the Middle East.
(Pre) Sliced Bread was invented in 1928 by Otto Frederick Rohwedder from Iowa. Well, he invented and patented the machine to achieve this. The Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri was the first company to sell the product “Kleen Maid Sliced Bread.”
The first cookies can be dated back to as early as 7th Century A.D. Persia (Iran).
The chocolate chip cookie originated in the Whitman, Massachusetts around 1938 by Ruth Graves Wakefield, who chopped up a Nestle chocolate bar and added it to the cookie recipe.
Hey Allison, I enjoyed learning about the food items you captured. i loved how you pushed your project further by including research on the history of the food. i can see that you have a strong start. between the two bread ones, i think you should use the second vertical one as a selects, because i feel like in the horizontal bread photo the background get a little lost in the dark. FOr the cookies, I like how you were able to capture the reflection of the hand, although I feel like its missing something in the foreground, but im not sure. great job though i cant wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteYour compositions and lighting and set design are improving. These are top notch! I like the fun facts but how to incorporate them? I am drawn to the idea of making them sort of funny. The bread info is interesting but my favorite part is about the sliced bread. Maybe there could be aline about how uch bread of chocolate chip cookies are consumed by American each year. With your earlier work there was a great jsxtapostion set up between the rennaisance lighting and american junk food. Here the foods do not look as kitchy american as before but maybe that is from the suppy chain issues. Is this a bit of a different direction?
ReplyDeleteI mentioned your work to Prof Murokoka and think it might be a good idea to show it to her in it is different itirations and she what she has to say....
