For this assignment we were supposed to shoot a still life, using a 4x5 camera. The assignment in itself proved to be really difficult. Not only did we have to carefully and thoughtfully place our props but we also had to use a camera that was more complex then we were used to and make sure that that items places were not next to something around the same color. Even though the project was difficult it was a great learning experience for me overall. As you can see by this photo, this isn't the actual photo that I printed. The reason for this was that before I took the photograph the negative had been exposed without my knowledge. The concept I wanted to portray was an homage to my grandma. The way I tried to show that was by using items that belonged to her. She likes to knit and crochet in her spare time and that's what I used. I felt that I did portray that concept rather well. The elements of photography that I used were lines, contrast, and texture.
