In today's session with John, we talked about commercial photography. This is photography of which the photographer is paid for. This could include photography for; advertising, fashion, food, paparazzi or portrait and wedding photography.
Today, we photographed 'shiny things'. We were demonstrating how someone might advertise jewellery. We had a studio made up of 2 lights; one with a honeycomb modifier behind the subject and one to the side. We were using quite dull, uninteresting backgrounds for the jewellery to go on to accentuate how nice and shiny they are and to create a contrast between the subject and background. I went out and collected an old brick with moss on it. There were a few woodlice on it so i brushed them off first.
I used a macro lens and got really close to my subject.
