Week 3

This week I took more photographs imitating the style of Immogen Cunningham. For the first two pictures of the roses, the light source emanated from the lower left side. One rose was a lighter pink and the other was red. For the red rose, it was altered in photoshop, because the center of the rose was dark and hidden. I used the magic wand tool to select the darker area and brightened the center, while reducing the contrast. For the photograph of the lighter rose, I cropped the image to center the subject.

For the cactus, the light source came from the bottom right hand corner and was shone through the foliage. In this I tried to recreate the style of the Cunningham picture below. The white flower, being the main subject. The light traces the outline of the foliage, which increases detail and interest. In my photo, the center seems to be light, while in Cunningham's the center seems to be dark, however, they complement each other well.
