Little World

Recently, we’ve been exploring product photography in our visual media classes. As someone who loves capturing concerts and people, I was a little nervous at first and worried it would feel dull. But it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I’ve realized that product photography can push you to think outside the box, making a unique little world rather than just shooting product on a plain background is my jam. In the past, I worked as a bartender and did cocktail and food photography for various restaurants in Seattle and recently have been getting back into it through my serving gig, my bosses have given me full creative freedom and I’ve been running with it.

Lately I’ve been on a hard light party themed photography kick so I wanted to keep that going with this assignment. After trying different color combinations and garnishes I settled on this shot.

It’s easy to focus on the glamorous side of photography, so I’ve been really enjoying capturing behind-the-scenes moments and the less glamorous aspects.

Photography and art can be anything you want it to be – keep it weird and have fun with it.
