Still Life

My family has three dogs and for this project we were supposed to do a still life showing something about our family. I gathered the dog toys that were in the living room. Then I arranged them in an interesting way and took different photos. I decided to go with this photo because I felt it to be the best quality. For this picture got closer to the dog toys and when the camera focused, the texture of each individual toy stood out more.

This photo showcases selective focus because the background is blurry while the foreground is in focus. I put the photo into photoshop and decide to do select color. The toy I colored is one of my dog's favorite squeaky toys. It has bright colors and I thought it would contrast well with a black and white background. I chose this photo out of all the ones I took because it had a better composition than a photo showing all of the toys. When I was coloring the toy it was hard around the edges with all the different shapes and strings.
