Forms

ac6333554 says: I like how this photo slightly subverts the meaning of geometric form. The idea behind geometric form is that everything is perfect and uniform, but the mismatched Rubik's Cube and tilted composition of these objects suggests a more realistic imperfection.

ac6333554 says: I noticed that this photo is lit in a way that invites the viewer to speculate on what these seemingly random shapes look like. The object itself sort of resembles a skull, but there are smaller shapes within it that could be anything. The lighting and the composition of the image work together to engage the viewer.

ac6333554 says: I find it interesting that this photo uses some of the same objects as the second photo in this gallery, but in the opposite way. While the other photo turned the idea of geometric form on its head, this one plays it normally. This idea of geometric "perfection" is emphasized by the hard divide of light and shadow present in the photo.

ac6333554 says: I like that this photo gives a wide variety of textures and shows the different ways that these objects react to light. The apple and the grapes reflect the light directly, resulting in sharp highlights, while the lemon absorbs the light in a softer way. The grape stem doesn't reflect the light at all.

ac6333554 says: I think there's a neat contrast of texture in this photo, as well as a distorted sense of scale. The softness of the lip balm itself contrasts with the hard shininess of its case. In addition, the placement of the two water bottles in the foreground and background throws off the viewer in an interesting way. It makes them initially unsure of how big these objects actually are.

ac6333554 says: I like that you managed to get a lot of interesting details out of multiple objects that were essentially the same. There's great focus on the dust on some of the pieces of chalk, and the wide depth of field allows for contrast (in terms of focus) for objects that are so similar, they couldn't be contrasted between otherwise. I also like the slight reflection of the objects on the table, because it gives you an idea of the table's texture.

ac6333554 says: I like how the placement of each object in this photo affects how recognizable it is to the viewer. The apple is placed very plainly in the light, and its form is easily recognized as that of an apple. The object below it, though, it partially concealed by shadow, so it becomes harder to identify. The objects on the left are especially hard to recognize, because their forms are made obscure or out of focus.

ac6333554 says: I think the absence of color in this photo really makes the viewer focus on the form of the object. The lack of focus in some areas and the heavy focus in others also helps guide the viewer to look at the details of the object's shape.

ac6333554 says: I like the wide depth of field in this photo, because it makes the object feel more real rather than a two-dimensional image. I also notice that the good lighting/editing of this photo makes it seem as if there's no "crease" that connects the "wall" of the background to the "floor," which in turn avoids distracting the viewer from the focal point of the image.

ac6333554 says: I think the lighting here is very dramatic and interesting. You can't tell at all what's going on in the background, because it's pitch black. This forces the viewer to focus on the bottles, which are nicely detailed.
