LIGHT BOX
DUE: _____________________

MATERIALS: Objects and surfaces/backgrounds that hold value and

significance. Make sure to bring more than enough materials.
PROCEDURE:
Traditionally a light box is used for small product photography. It is a
contained box whose walls are designed to defuse light from the outside.
This produces a soft light that complements small objects.
I would like you to create a photograph that is not about an object but about
the significance and importance of the object. This should not feel like a
photograph for an advertisement.
Points to consider:
- Symbolism both of color and object(s) selected
- Consideration of background- color, texture, surface
- Lighting- consider direction of light, placement and intensity of light.
Also consider the use of fill cards to create shadows
