Connecting Essay two

In this photograph the frying pan is places slightly of centre filled and surrounded with the foods that make up a traditional fried breakfast. The background is a natural looking wooden board which makes the photo seem as if it has been taken on location of where the food has been cooked. Because the food is not laid out exactly perfect it gives the breakfast a very appealing and appetising appearance. The photograph has a very homely and hearty appearance which would be appealing to a very wide audience. The fork entices the audience as it is as if they can just reach out and eat the food in the photo. 

In my photograph I have chosen to have a black and white filter except on the breakfasts themselves as this helps the bright colours stand out. This shoot was done on location as I felt this gave the photos a more realistic and natural feel. The angle of the photo is just above and to the side of the table and is very appetising. By having the table set with sauces, water and cutlery the audience get the feel of home and feel as if they can just sit down and enjoy this breakfast.

These two photographs connect because they both have a location style setting and both feature the foods of a cooked breakfast. Both photos use quite a dark lighting for the area surrounding the breakfast itself in order to emphasise the bold bright colours. Both photographs also feature cutlery and give the audience that 'ready to eat' feeling despite the fact its just a photograph.
