Proposal

For the light project I am going to explore the beauty of everyday objects particularly concentrating on food. I am interested in this topic because I find it really amazing how objects that surround us in everyday life can become a piece of art in we change the attitude and look at them "from the different angle". In photography light plays an important role in changing the look of the object. So for this project I will photograph food in two ways: just as it is and how we see it when we are eating and also I will transform them into something different and try to find an abstract beauty of them. To get interesting effects I am going to use long and short exposure, different lighting and will photograph from different angles.

On this picture i like howthe light makes the objects (the tree brunches) look like inner space so it looks a bit abstract and unreal.

I cannot really explain why I like this picture, but for some reason it attracts my eyes. I guess it's just the natural beauty of fluid form.

This picture attracts my attention because it demonstraits a good use of shadows. I quite like how the shadow on the wall represent the objects that are not on the picture but kinda meant to be there, so we undestand the situation and what is meant to be shown. Also the shadow of the lady looks almost like the shadow of the child and it gives a feeling of innocence and exposure.

I loke the picture above because i like how using the light photographer leads the viewer's eyes to the spots he wants them to look at.

Lovely paralleled lines on the background created by good use of light and a good contrast make this picture look really appealing even though itlooks quite simple from the first sight.
