concentration #9: maggot

Deception: The "maggot" is actually a piece of lychee that has been sorta dis configured and thrown onto the ground to seem like an insect. My inspiration for this is me getting yogurt land with lychee and finding that one was sorta gross and looked like larva or a maggot. Thus I began my photo adventure with this subject. My first shoot with it began in the my house with hard then soft window light, however I found it to not be as realistic. Then I went outside and placed it on the ground for it to be in a "natural environment." Also side note, I picked it up and threw the lychee away afterwards because you don't want dogs to eat it! Editing wise, I upped the saturation on reds and orange to make the maggot mouth seem "bloody" and for the bug to look gross and dead. The design principle could be unity and every component compliments each other and color interaction.
