Week 9 BOC Food

I did a cup cake and two cookies as my food. I used just a dark background to enhance the highlighted parts of the dessert and plate. The cookie were situated in a way that it is angled and the highlights are at the rounded edges of the cookies. The cupcake was arranged in a way that it is the soft huge parts of it are bulging out of the photo. I used two lights and two window areas that are bringing in the sunlight. The sunlight is not directly in the windows so it is diffused by the rays of the sun hitting on the sides The two lights I used are the regular strobe and the other is an umbrella strobed light. They are both angled 90 degrees from each other to point at the accents of the dessert and plate. I used the brown table to make the cupcake stand out and the cookies to blend a little but highlighted the cookies to make them stand out from the table. The background I made it blur because I wanted the plate and dessert to stand out. The plate itself is highlighted to make the whole dessert to come together and make the three desserts portray their colors and highlights. I wanted to make the plate help the dessert pop out from the background and the table so that is remains a delicious food item. The green of the cupcake I highlighted to bring some natural color that would go well with the natural brown of the cookies. These two help make the dessert more comforting and warm because of the natural colors. I moved the plate on the part of the table that it is less highlighted to avoid extra patterns of light. It is imperative that I make the plate a part of the whole photo because it brings in all the elements together as a whole.
