Tabletop Inspiration

Here are some of the images we looked at in class for inspiration...

These are great examples of images that will get you work as a photographer. Don't re-setup these shots. Be inspired and come up with your own twist.

What you need to know...

So, consider this blog the online journal of your study of light. By posting your images and observations here you will help yourself and your classmates become better students of light and photographic lighting. Look for light that creates an interesting or beautiful moment inside, outside, morning, noon or night. Photograph the light that speaks to you.

When describing the light in your images use the basic terms we discussed in class, color, contrast, and brightness. Be sure to note the environmental factors like direction, diffusion, etc. Talk about the overall feeling the light gives the image. Feel free to post whatever inspires you in addition to the images you make yourself. I will continue to add links and post myself as well. This is meant to be a creative outlet for you so have fun with it. -tmox
