Leading Lines in Food

This week we were challenged to use leading lines in food photography. I love food, and I love photography, so this one is great! I liked this set-up because even through the lines of chocolate chips and bananas are not straight, they are still able to effectively lead your eye around the bowl, making it …

Rule of Odds

For this week’s challenge, I tried to recreate tumbler stock photos. This one I took of one of my light decorations in my room. It took a long time to try and make the lighting work, but eventually I got a result I was happy with. I was inspired my the compositional rule of 3rds …

Using the rule of thirds, the photo shows more space to where the moving object is going, rather than where they have been. My sister, Melody served as a perfect …
