Life in Black & White: May

It’s time for another glimpse at my life in black and white.  I have really enjoyed my Composition and Creativity class.  It pushed me to really be dramatic with my use of light  and compositional techniques.  It’s amazing how changing lighting, and direction can really add moodiness and emotion to images.  I practised seeing light with an egg in some different lighting set-ups, and then I also practised a little on my children.

These are great! I love that the first one is OOF. It adds to the moodiness I think.

I love these!! My favorite is the third of the egg. I love the form and that I can see the texture of the egg.
