This project was very interesting for Devin because it made him think outside the box. He always knew about xbox controllers and a simple breakfast, but now he has to think about how to display them and how they interact with their surroundings. Lighting and perspective were the main things that were adjusted throughout the photoshoot since the object is still so the only thing moving is yourself. Many and many photos were taken just to get down to four photos for turn in and presentation. This project served as a stepping stone in Devin’s photography experience with positioning and lighting.
