Image to add

A portait image with multiple small objects. In the back is a figure of a character wearing a black skirt and grey shirt, with two long, blue ponytails. On the left are three miniature colored pencils in the colors purple, blue and pink. Next to them is a small toy of three kittens playing on a rug. On the right side of the image is a figure of a pink and white rabbbit wearing pastel bows. In front of it is two pink mechanical keyboard switches. The objects are on a white table in front of a light green wall. The image is at a slightly tilted angle — 50mm | 1/125 | f2.8 | ISO 1000

The prompt for this photo was “Faceless Self-Portrait” We were asked to take a self-portrait photo without showing our face. TO accomplish this, I decided to arrange a few things I could find that related to my hobbies and interests. For example, I chose colored pencils to represent art and a cat figure to represent catsitting as well as my general like of cats. When taking this photo, my main challenge was figuring out how to frame the objects, as well as trying to make the lighting look balanced. Since I took the photo inside, I had to try using different light sources in my room to not make it too warm.
