Personal Shoot 6 - Work Diary

I think this shoot went really well and really contrasted with all of my other food photography shoots as instead of making the food look enticing it looked slightly off putting but still made fairly attractive photographs. To improve this shoot I would use other foods that are unappealing like porridge or brightly coloured food in order to create attractive yet un-enticing photographs.

I think this photograph works really well as it is obvious that the photo is of an apple. It also works well because maggots are often found in apples and therefore this photograph illustrates this to the audience. To improve this I would just try and feather the photo a little more so that it was a bit softer.

I think this photo works really well because it is realistic and although the apple is shiny and attractive the maggots make it seem un-appealing and different from other food photography. To improve this photograph I would use more fruit in one photo to contrast with the apple or use a location setting and show it in a fruit bowl or something like that.

This shoot is a development from shoot four where I have chosen to create slightly controversial photography. I will develop this shoot by going on to using real maggots in order to get a more realistic and life like photograph. I will probably use video so that the movement, shapes and actions of the maggots can be seen.

These photos were all created around the idea of controversial foods.
