Food

This project was based on food. I created this photo of food of a variety of different foods and placed them all on the same plate. I used the elements of line, shape, color, value, texture and space. For example, I used space by spreading out all of the foods so that you could be able to appreciate each and every one. I used the principles of balance and unity.

Composition rules and techniques included in this photo include formal balance, sharp focus, and grouping. Sharp focus can be seen because everything is in pristine focus because it is all on the same plane. If I could change one thing it would be the angle of the photo. I don't like that it's straight on and I believe the photo would be stronger if it was at a different angle.

This photo relates to my concentration because it shows the variety of foods in our world and how important cultural diffusion is. This project relates to my life because I took it as I was on vacation this past week in Mexico. It was my plate of food and I arranged it before eating.
