Self Proposal Assignment 3: Tea

 

This was an image taken this current Fall Semester in my Photographic Illustration class for our second Self Proposal Assignment. In this assignment we were allowed to photograph anything of our choosing, as long as we presented the instructor with a sketch of our idea first. Since we were encouraged to photograph something that we would want to show potential clients, I chose a detailed table top set up shot in studio. I am always fascinated by the puzzle of prop placement in a photograph. For this image I wanted to use a lot of small elements, but also allow the image to come across as simple in design.
