Lighting

I used lighting as an element in order to give more emphasis to the boxes in each photograph. I tried to use a different light source in each of the three images to see what shadows I could create. For instance, the lighting in the first image was created by a lamp, the lighting in the second image was a combination of a lamp and natural sunlight, and the lighting in the third image was caused by natural sunlight. The shadows in each image helped bring out the boxes form and directed attention to the main point of interest. 

Texture

I decided to explore texture as one of the elements in order to give realism and character to my images. I particularly focused on texture in these photos by altering the lighting and slightly changing the camera position. If you look closely at each photograph you can see, the texture of the boxes surface, the tears in some of the creases, and the rigid texture of the floral fabric. By capturing the texture, I was able to create form or shape of the object, which helped strengthen the main idea of each image. 

Color

I chose to explore the element of color for these images. I did this by skewing the color setting on my camera. In the first image I tried to incorporate one color scheme, so that the highlights of the photo were of a yellow tint and the shadows were of a green tint. In the second image I tried to use compliment colors in order for the main object to really stand out. Lastly, the technique I used for the third image was based on yellow, green, and red-like tints. Since yellow and green are analogous colors, I wanted the image to have a soothing affect, but in contrast, I used the red tint in order to make the color green more intense. 

Repetition

I thought repetition would be a good element to explore because my object already consists of three of the same boxes. Although my object captures repetition within itself, I really tried to focus on capturing it from the best angles. As you can see, the floral print shown in each picture has absolutely no repetition, which allows the viewer to focus particularly on the repetitiveness of the object. I think each angle affects my image in different ways. For instance, you can see the repetition in each image, but it is shown  from different angles which is what makes each photograph unique.
