This photo was a photo I took in my bedroom, practising with the lighting. I like the shadow reaching across the fishes face, and how the fish isnt exactly in the center of the image. I also like the two reflective white dots at the top, as they fill up the darkness a little, but they dont steal the attention from the fish. 

These are two pictures I took in the studio,  Practising with lighting, they were some of the first photos I took with low key. I like the dolphin skull because of the orange-ish tints of the skull really give the picture quite a warm feeling. I also like the way that only the center of the picture is visible, the exact center of it and everywhere else is in darkness. The other picture has rather soft colours despite the contrasts, the shadows on the white are really soft. The intense red of the feathers below also help this picture, making it seem rather mythical and dragon-like.

I tried something rather different with this picture, with different lighting and a different angle. The light is soft again, but the surrounding area is visible. The way the male deer is resting his head on the female is rather emotional, and the colours add to this. They're warm colours but only slightly, and the male deers face is the focal point, the rest of the skulls just giving the picture that extra interest.



I like the black backgrounds of these two pictures, the way that the background is as dark as it is and the skulls are lit up with a specific lighting. I also like how each piece shows the difference between my photography taken in my bedroom, and my photography taken in the colleges studio. I also like the context of the two dog skulls, how the larger one is eating the smaller one.
