Food

"RING RING RING"

This image is more of a portrait featuring food. It shows my sister using a banana phone in a serious manner, with the bunch of bananas being the base for the banana phone. I took this image by arranging the bananas on a small table and directing Emma to act like she's on the phone. I then edited the image to make only the bananas in color, making the image more interesting and creating a black background that Emma can fade into.

The image utilizes both high and low key lighting, as well as sharp focus and contrasting colors. Originally, I wanted this image to be full of food items in place of something one would find on a desk, but I couldn't find a lot of analogous foods and thought it would make the image too confusing.

The image is inspired by the bumpers on Saturday Night Live, where the photographer often puts the celebrity hosts in strange situations, sometimes ones where items juxtapose each other in tone. If I were to change something, I would try to fill more negative space and move the bananas to the other side of the desk.
