Artist's Comments

In photo class we have to make a triptych out of our themed assignments. So I made a double triptych (sextych?).

Behold! The colorful glory of shiny things that help us eat our food. :D

Critiques


:iconfridgecrisis:
Personally, I really like this series. It shows some technical knowledge and creativity (some photographers might just take photos of the utensils with colored backgrounds, but you understood to hold up colored pieces of paper to the side to add new and interesting colors) and good use of composition. The empty spaces are just as important as the spaces that are filled up, which is how it should be.

I like the difference in size of the two utensils in your knife and whisk photos. I think it adds some good variety to the photo. However, I also really like the picture of the two forks for its composition. All three of those photos are good for their own reasons, which I think is a good thing to have in a series featuring one common theme. It would be no good if they were all exactly the same, but these are unique and individual enough to stay interesting from one to the next.

In your photo featuring the knife, fork, and spoon together, I like the yellow color you reflected onto them. More so than in the others with yellow coloring, this photo makes them look golden, and I like that. Kind of makes you think about how the value of things isn't always easy to tell by looking at them.

My least favorite of the six would be the lone spoon. I do like that you did a photo with only one utensil in it (again, good variety), but to me, this one isn't as well composed as the others. Getting a bit closer (like you did with the forks or the fork+knife+spoon) might have helped fill in more of that space over to the right side, perhaps. In any case, that photo would be a difficult one. Not a whole lot you can move around and arrange with just one solid spoon, huh? You still did a good job, though.

All in all, I'm impressed by these photos. They could easily go in a magazine or something. You're a talented photographer, and thanks for sharing your photos with us!

This is quite excellent for so many reasons. The composition and cropping of each image works rather well, save for the lone spoon at the bottom of the piece. I’m loving how the shots are cropped, and the utensils are being manipulated by reflected color as apposed to just simple still life work. It’s brought the artist’s hand into this, and made it a mix of both photography and stylistic graphic design. It might just be a personal preference, due to some of my courses, but I’m a sucker for typography in this sort of work.
