Photoshoot Blog Post: Interior Design/Decorations

First of all, my goals for my first photoshoot were to get the angles right. That was my first priority of all. Then, I began trying if natural light was better than artificial, which turned out to be true. Moreover, my plan at first was to just to learn how to properly use my camera, but after all I succeeded overall taking these pictures.

One great example of these pictures is this sink. The point of the picture was to get the camera lens to focus on the sink while having the living room unfocused in the background.

To the left is my favorite picture out of all I took. The main focus of this picture was to use the rule of thirds to get the viewers attention to the bed. Then, I used natural light and artificial together since using only natural light made it too dark.

This picture is definitely the one I struggled on most. The main focus was the couch and the decoration but the natural light kept on making a type of "shadow" on the television. I tried turning the TV on to get rid of the shadow but it did not work. Moreover, I used natural lighting and artificial together.

Then, this is a picture which I like, but not my favorite. The lights looked nice, and the plants and design added a touch in the background too. Although, the problems were that the lights were reflecting the glass table causing it to look weird. Overall, I love how I organized the living room.

Again, this is another angle of the bedroom. I really like the touch the lights give and how organized the bed looks. One very small problem is that the cables for the lights are connected and they can be seen in the picture. Moreover, the lights on the ceiling are also seen but barely.

Lastly, this picture I believe is the worse from my photoshoot. The lights are reflected off the floor, you can see the shadow of the lights on the pantry, and the mirror on the wall is showing part of the kitchen. The chairs and glass table do make it somewhat better, but still this picture needs more work overall.

The feedback I received from the class was great advice. Some people mentioned the shadows and how they should be photoshopped, but overall most said they were great. What I do need to improve on is the lighting reflecting on different things, which I could get good at with practice.
