Earthly Roots
One for my A2 Art&Design Coursework.
For this project I have to include a dissertation-like written essay for my A&D coursework, Given the the theme 'Beginnings' I thought up the project topic of 'Grow.' - looking at the acorn to oak tree concept and how something so small and insignificant can eventually grow to produce a massive body, much more complex than its original form. Im really going to stay away from the digital end for my final peice for the sake of my university application as I think I have that down so ill be working in more traditional media to hopefully bring out some more depth in my portfolio's media spectrum.
So for the photography end of this project (no photog class this year unfortunately :( ) ill be looking at nuts, seeds, beans, roots, shoots/saplings, trees and other fully grown plants. Quite a nice subject type as I do like my still life so it will be interesting to see if I can still draw after the summer break :)
Strobist:
one black studio case/portfolio case as a background
One plant (a thyme shoot I think it was) clamped by the horseshoe mount of my unbrella stand about 2 feet infront of background
natural light from window (90 degrees camera left)
I think I worked this a little too much, roots are very fine so getting the contrast right was tricky.
