For this photo, I decided the best place to look for trash with a story was underneath the couch. Our cats constantly push things under here, and then spend hours lying on the floor staring at them. The dark and dusty scene gives an aura of abandonment and forgottenness here.

In this photo, I set the camera’s white balance to fluorescent white, to give the scene a warmer tint. This effectively gives a feeling of heat and dryness, turning Autumn into Summer out my window.

This shot shows a stack of Christmas decoration bins, as seen from a low angle to give a sense of size compared to the viewer. I chose these bins because I had to be very careful and use a lot of effort to bring them down the attic ladder, so the sense of mass I get stems from that.

The mood I am portraying in this photo is coziness, warmth, and softness. I had holiday lights placed around my sleeping cat Dime, with the warmer reds and yellows at the front, to create a small space which almost feels like firelight. The white and blue lights in the back represent the cold outside which the warmth is protecting against.
