Cupcakes & Matches

This is another large format project that I had to do for my class. The assignment was to compose photos where the matches were 1:1 with the matches in the photos (basically, you should have been able to lay the actual match on the match in the photograph and have them be the same size).

Large Format Photography- Fake Flowers

Now that I've got some major stuff that had to get done finished (basically replacing my car), I can do this longer-than-usual post about this project that I did in college. One of the photography classes that was offered was a large format course. That was one of those things that seemed very daunting, but ended up being a lot of fun (it made me want to get a large format camera). The photos are from the final project that I did for that class (I have other photos from that class that I will post another time). What I ended up doing for that class was setting up simple still life arrangements with fake flowers, photographing them, hand-processing the film, and then taking the negatives and scanning them into the computer. Once scanned, I did very minimal editing in Photoshop (adding a warm tone to each one) and then I printed them out of translucent 8x10 vellum paper, and then laying those prints over a warm-toned basic 8x10 drawing paper (I'll post pictures of that set up another time). I had intentions of making them into a book but I ran out of time and ended up just leaving them as individual prints (I may bind them together at some point; I'm not sure about it though).
