Still life test

While I didn't produce any images I felt were usable, I got to experience the set up and get used to the space I will be spending a lot of time in. 

I have thought about potential articles to write and decided to just bring in as many props as I could carry and shoot. While this wasn't really wise, I had been putting off going into the studio waiting for the rest of my props to arrive.

 This is a book on essential oils, I bought it to learn more about aromatherapy and have found it very useful. I am thinking about writing a blog post on the book as it has just come out and using essential oils can be un-safe if done incorrectly, so its good to know. 

I realise the lighting is too low for these images, it can be fixed in photoshop but is much better to have the best quality images in the first place. Next time I will make sure to adjust the dial until I am happy. 

I test shot this book as I really like the colours on the cover, it is the exact look I want to create with my website. I like how the colours work in this image, I think the lighting was better taking these images but the angles for me don't work. I like softness the flowers create and will use these again in my future shoots. 

These images are too busy for me, I used to many props and while the colour scheme is what I am hoping to achieve I want much less, without the images being empty. I think I will struggle finding the balance.
