Jrn 420: Still Life

For this assignment we were to create a still life using everyday items but trying to put an interesting, dynamic twist on them.


For my first shot I wanted to do something simple and somewhat elegant. Placing three bell peppers in a diagonal line all facing the same direction with increasing degree of color. I wanted to use the light to show off the curves of the peppers


Lens (mm): 200
ISO: 100
Aperture: 9.0
Shutter: 1/250



For my second shot I wanted to put a twist on how we see food. I was trying to create an intimacy between the bell peppers to show how some individuals feel about food, they love it!

Lens (mm): 195
ISO: 100
Aperture: 9.0
Shutter: 1/250


Lighting Setup:


For my lighting setup I used the dome diffuser as the main light above and behind the bell peppers and a side light diffused by an umbrella with Moriah Clover using a white board to bounce some light back in on the side. I shot with a Canon T1i using a a 70-200 2.8 lens.
