Alphabet Photography.

These photos were taken throughout my everyday life, and they involve the simple and peculiar things that people don't normally look at. I was only unfond of the letter "T" which I photographed, and the letter "E". They were not very interesting, and to me they seemed quite boring. I do like the effect of the black and white coloring on the contrast of the images. I believe it makes all of them look much more complex.

Why photograph in black and white?

Black and white photography varies in appeal throughout different photographers: some may love it, and others feel that it is all too plain and simple. Personally, I believe that black and white photos are great, but only on certain subjects. If you're trying to display emotion or subtleness, black and white would be the way to go. But if you really want to display something that is colorfully beautiful and you want to show contrast, shooting in color would be the best option.
Photographers usually use black and white photography because it is very versatile and has a wide range of ideal subjects, and because it allows the viewer to interpret their own story from the photograph, rather than be distracted by excessive color. Black and white photo has been and always will be a 'fan favorite', and it will also be my personal favorite for almost all of my photos.

Food Photgraphy.

Pecan-caramel cinnamon bun

Chocolate chip cookies

Creme Brulee

Chocolate ice cream with pirouline

S'mores

Nutella and banana sandwich
All of these photos were taken on a simple white countertop, and I used paper towels to blend the background in with the plates. I only used a dampened light source along with sunlight, using a white sheet of paper to soften the illumination. At first, I was worried that some of the photos would look overexposed, but then I realized that the intensity of the light only added to the appeal of the foods. All foods are in their natural state, and were not altered in any ways artificially, meaning they were safe to consume after the shoot. I tried to make the food look as appetizing as possible, and I truly enjoyed photographing my favorite desserts. My favorite, of course, was the ice cream photo, because I love the great detail in the scoop, and the lighting and focus seems perfect.

Become Someone Else.




These photos are from a campaign to "Become Someone Else", and it was created by the Lithuanian Agency called Love for Mint Vinetu. They stated that, "When one reads books, he/she starts living it and identifies (or not) with main hero." So these photos actually encourage people to try and have different personalities, and fully dwell into what they read.
