Personal Shoot No.11 Work Diary

In this photograph I chose to take a bite out of one of the  mince pies in order to show the audience both the outside and inside and to imply that they fast just so good that I could not resist taking a bite. However to improve this photograph I could make sure that the whole of one of the mince pies was in the photo so that the audience gets to see the appearance of the mince pie as this helps with the selling of a product. I also feel that this photo could be improved by using a brighter tone like in the photograph below. 

This is one of my photographs from 11th personal shoot. I was inspired to do this shoot due it nearly being christmas therefore i was seeing a lot of commercial photography around me which was advertising festive foods and items. I decided to place the mince pie on a bed of fake snow to give the photograph a more festive feel as well as creating a contrast against the golden coloured mince pies. When positioning the mince pie, i chose to pile them on top of each other in order to create depth in the photograph by showing that the objects were 3D. When looking at the rule of thirds, i decided to place the mince pies within the centre and right hand side of the composition. This gives the sense of the eyes being able to lead up to the mince pie as we read from left to right. The colours which are running through the photograph are warm which links to the fact that they are to be consumed at home on a cold winters day. 

If i was to improve this shoot, i would consider including a model to make the photograph more realistic and in a life like setting. 

What influenced me to do this shoot?
I was influenced to do this shoot by looking back at my personal image bank as well as this being something which I have wanted to look at from the beginning of my project

As a resukt of this shoot, I feel that I have added more diversity to my work however I do not feel that this is soemhting that I will continue to look at as I feel that my previoius has been better.

Future shoot
In a future shoot I would like to look at at something different such as hair as this was something that I noticed when looking back at my personal image bank therefore I wanted to incorporate into my project.
