The title of this project is probably going to be “Items”. This project is inspired by Tom Teodosijev, the intent of this project is to let the audience see one’s identity through the items they own. For example, we can see from a box of messy and colored paintbrushes that the owner is an artist, a messy one at that. I will take pictures of my own drawers that contain my past items, showing people the life I live. I will take the photo from above the drawer, making sure that everything inside the drawer is included in the photo.

Moodboard:

These photos are great examples of Tom’s work. It can be seen that none of the items in the photograph are purposely straight of organized, they are placed naturally by Tom. Another thing I must take note is the position of the light. It must not cast a shadow of the phone when I take the photo, which is going to be hard. The edges of these photos are kept outside the edges of the drawer, which in my opinion makes the photo look better. The items in these photos are quite related to each other, making it easier for the audience to see the owner’s passion and the life they live.

Final Photo:

I am quite happy with the way this photo came out. Although it was really hard to get the edges of the drawer to be straight, I managed to do it at last. The lighting was great since there are no shadows in the photograph. One aspect I would like to improve on is to have only 1 layer of items, instead of many layers making the items behind them not visible. Another improvement that I would like to make if i were to do this again is to find a smaller drawer with multiple layers that are filled with stuff. Although this drawer is filled with stuff, there is just one photo.
