Westin Food Shoot

Edward Weston: Edward Henry Weston was a 20th-century American photographer born March 24, 1886, in HighLand Park IL. Weston has been labeled as one of the most influential and innovative photographers in America. Weston specialized in making vegetables and fruits the star of the photos. Weston was especially good at creating multiple dynamics within a single photo by using off shaped fruits, or perfect vegetables. In this assignment Mr. Worrell asked us to produce the same theme as Weston, by making the food the "hero" of the shot. We made a collection of four photos with three black & white and one in color. I enjoyed this assignment due to the fact that fruits and vegetables come in all different shapes and sizes giving this assignment a variety of complex ideas and shots.

I used many browns, greens and moderate colors to bring out the earthy and natural feel of my photos.
