I chose to take this photo because of the lighting. It was all one tone and I thought it would be good because I would take others with shadows. I put all of the items that help with my physical health on the right side, as that is very important to me. These items are my running shoes, basketball, lacrosse ball, and mango. On the left side are items that help with my mental health and bring me peace. Hiking and camping are big hobbies of mine, so I put the hiking hat and tent together on one side of the arrangement.

I took this photo because I liked my arrangement of my items. I also liked how the mango balanced on the shoe. To add on, I put the basketball in the center of the photo because it is a big part of my identity. I love to go and play in my driveway whenever I can as it is very calming. Again I put my lacrosse ball, running shoes, and mango together as they complement eachother well, as well as my hat and tent because they also complement eachother well.

I took this photo because of the shadows. I liked how each item had light shining on it and a shadow. I also put my basketball closest to the light as it is my favorite item in the collection. The basketball being close to the light represents importance and significance to me and my identity. I chose to put everything else in the light as well besides the mango. I did this because while it is my favorite food, I think personally it is the least important part of my identity compared to the other items
