Photography

My aim for this project was to show a close up view of how light reflects off everyday objects, such as the natural light coming from a window that reflects off of the tea cup. I also wanted to contrast natural versus artificial light on objects. This is shown through the upward view of the lamp and lamp post outside in the rain. In this image the circular spots, created by raindrops on the lens, give the image a serene feel and almost look like small halos. They could also be viewed as large stars in the night sky, adding to a celestial feel. On another note, one thing that ties all of my images together is the theme of light sparkling off the objects. For instance, in my closeup of a metallic frame there was a spotlight on it creating a reflective shine. I also played on the theme of repetition especially in the image of the apples with all of the white sparkly looking dots, and in the decorative, glass bowls. This theme is also apparent in the crystal beads of the chandelier which repeat in a regular pattern.
