Commercial Photography

Commercial Photography


I decided to try create something different and creative within my commercial photography, by setting up a makeshift scene. I use doll house furniture to create the homely scene i thought about doing this whilst i was watching my mum paint her nails with all the vanish over the coffee table, I thought it would be a good way to promote the nail vanish in an inventive sort of way. As nail varnish can be fairly messy i thought it would make a good effect to spill and catch the varnish as it was in mid drip. I placed each part of the nail varnish/top and brush in different areas in the picture so it was always the main focus where ever you looked. I also used the little cup and saucer as these are typical household items you would usually see on a living room table. I really enjoyed creating this as it was something different for me to experiment with. I then edited them in different ways to see which would look more effective, I think i will try edit these again as i am not entirely satisfied with how they have turned out.

Studio Photography- Flowers

Studio Photography- Flowers

This has been my favourite part of studio photography yet, maybe not interesting to some but i love photographing flowers/tree's and nature so i was really looking forward to doing this. I wanted to capture different aspects where as not just showing flowers to be delicate and pretty but to show them using darker lights and tones to make them more pronounce. To do this i used quite low lighting and shot from below, I put them in a rusty brown coloured tin vase i think it created a really nice effect and indeed just as pretty as the high lightning shots of the flowers just captures in two different ways. I also used numerous coloured different gels to have a go at them as well, i didn't find they reflected in my pictures as well as they should have so this will be something for me to work on in the future lessons.

Studio Photography- Low and High Lighting


High lighting

I think this type of style is great for your basic shots, i think it makes features stand out well and makes everything look delicate but strong. I think its very complimentary towards the models and shows of all their strong features.








Low Lighting

I really like the effect low lighting has to images, i would like to use this in one of my future projects i think it creates such a bold statement as well as creating a beautiful type of image.
