Flower Collection

Edy Wong, Flower Collection, photography, 16-4"x6" photographs, 3/15/10, FCS art classroom

This is my fifth concentration piece. I decided to take lots of pictures of the same type of flower for this piece because I really liked these flowers in my backyard. I think they are absolutely beautiful and the best way to capture their beauty, in my opinion, is through photography. I wanted this piece to include many photos because I thought it would be interesting to show the flowers from different angles, perspective, etc. and because they were just so pretty I couldn't setting on merely a few pictures. Taking pictures also allowed me to finish this assignment pretty quickly since I was gone for Musicale and was falling behind. Taking pictures also allowed me to capture the flowers' detail and color accurately. Some of the challenges I faced was getting the lighting correct because I took some pictures on a cloudy day (which offered me excellent lighting) and some I took on another day when I was a little sunnier. So some of the lighting didn't match.
