About *Repetition*:
In this picture, I chose to emphasize the pattern of the pencils. I placed them on top of a planner in a row. The framing of this picture makes the pattern look like repeatedly extended. Even though the colored pencils looked almost the same in gray scale, each individual pencil had a distinguish tone and highlights. I used my desk light while I was shooting, which ended up helping show the different texture of the wood and the medal.
About *Light as Subject*
In this photo, I put the figure on the right side of the picture and asked her to "draw" with a flash light. The light drawing extended to the left side which creates a balance. The idea is about tracking the light and make light as the focal point, not the figure. I set my camera on a table(since I don't have a tripod), and set the smallest aperture and the lowest ISO with a 30'' shutter speed, and let the girl write stuff with the flash light. I just wanted to try to make the photo look still in the background but also generate a sense of motions.
About *Small Depth of Field*
In this photo I chose to shoot 3 tiny rubber animals by placing them in different distances. The piggy and the dolphin were out of focus and blur, but the little cow in the center of the picture was very sharp. I used a very large aperture to make this effect. The main idea of this picture is to show the shallow depth of field by placing the focal point only on the cow. I think the picture also shows a different perspective of life. :-)
I wanted to show the contrast of the bright highlights of the silverware and the dark shadow. Also the round shaped spoons contrast with the sharp ends of the forks. I placed a light source on the table in a dark room in order to create the shadow.
