Self Portrait: Picnic

Here is the 14th image in my self portrait zombie series called Picnic. This one was a challenge trying to find a good time of day to photograph outside- in the south- in the summer! Boy was it hot! Other images in my zombie series are Make a Wish, Home Cookin’, Take Time To Smell The Roses, Alone Time, Pancake Breakfast, Time for Tea, House of Horror Hair, Scared of the Dark, The Sleepover, Fun in the Sun, Luau Party, It’s a Girl!, and It’s a Girl! The Cake.

Dairy Product Assignment: Fancy Cheese Picnic

 

In this assignment for my Photographic Illustration class, we had to choose a dairy food product and props to create a table top illustration that is appetizing and has a clear mood and pleasing sense of time and place. I chose cheese as my dairy food product and carefully arranged my props to create an outdoor picnic feel. For my cheese selection, I searched for products with varying textures and colors, and added accent items for a pop of color and contrast. For this image I used natural light around sunset, and one HMI light positioned to the right of my table top scene.
