I got the idea for this image from a very very cold lacrosse game two years ago. We were playing Riverton and it was freezing. Snow was all over the place. I remember trying so hard not to fall on the cold hard ground because all of my heat would have been taken away. I did end up falling and that is where the lacrosse head in the snow comes from. I really enjoy this picture other than the corner that was burnable. You can see the border but hardly, other than that this is one of my favorite high key shots.
I was in Hawaii with my family and my dad gave me a coconut to split open. I thought it would be very simple and easy but it turned out to be a much larger challenge. After at least an hour I finally split open the coconut and was frustrated when I found out that I disliked coconut milk. I remember going home and easily splitting open macadamia nut chocolates. That is where I got the Idea for the chocolates split open inside of the coconut. This image was very dull when I first printed it. I ended up printing it four more times before I found the one I really liked.
This picture came from a very simple experience. This was simply how shinguards were displayed at a soccer store called team gear. I recreated the scene and bracketed them very dark because I like that you can hardly see the difference between the shin guards and the background. I also like how the symbols are arranged on the shinguards. The adidas symbols are arranged next to each other but flipped around. For how simple it is I like this picture alot.
My family always fights over who gets the last piece of something. I saw this black butter plate and though I would use an oreo to represent our family grabbing the last one. After shooting my other coconut shot I thought that I could use one of those chocolates to represent the situation. When I printed the picture it was very dull. The inside of the chocolate was not contrasting enough with the black plate. After making the chocolate lighter the picture looked much much better.
Shooting this assignment again made me take more creative pictures than my last assignment. I did not like the way it turned out and new I could do better. During spring break I found myself looking for things to shoot wherever I went. Being in Hawaii helped me remember my coconut experiences and gave me one of my images. Overall I am much more satisfied with the way assignment 4 turned out than assignment 3.
