The new thread for the creative and talented people is now up!
Go ahead and share your drawings, paintings, digital art, photographs, or anything else art related to others and talk about them. You can even ask for opinions or ways to improve if you want.
Progression and work in progress pictures are welcome as well. (i like to see those)
Also feel free to write a little story alongside your art if you feel like it, it would be a fun read i’m sure!
Black and white’s my jam, so that photo is my favorite, but I really like the first one. It seems unreal to me, you know what I mean? It looks like it’s been rendered for a videogame or something, which is great by the way.
Thank you, i like black and white style as well, so i dug this up for you!
And i know what you mean, it took a good couple of tries until i got that shot but it was worth it.
First of all, thank you for the thread @NICK9X9, simply amazing! I have to congratulate all of you guys for the good work that you made as well. Undoubtedly the third one. Yea, I love nature pictures
And @eishiya@Satanwee@WikiTora,those are some really nice artworks and art styles you got there, awesome production everybody, i love all of them, thank you for sharing them with us!
I’ve always worked in cognitive-heavy fields, so my off-hours are spent with lots of physical or hands-on activities. Two of those are cooking and baking, love both. Last night I made a (loosely-based) Santa Rosa salad and while scooping out the avocado I noticed my cuts made the skins look like beetle shells, the outer chitin part that protects the fragile wings!
So I now call this dish Mohawk Beetle salad because this is how my brain works:
That’s a professional looking dish, really well made.
If you want, here’s some easy tricks about lighting in food photography.
This technique is best used during the morning hours, as it take advantage of natural sunlight.
Tape a tissue paper sheet to a well lit window. This will be your softbox.
Then, place your dish in front of the window. Position your camera having the light coming from the right side.
Now you’ll need to fill some of the shadows. You can use the lids from those disposable aluminium trays. This will be your reflective panel (some may call it frost).
To the left of your dish, out of frame, place as many lids as needed, with the aluminium side facing your dish, reflecting the sunlight.
Optional: by using a tripod and long exposures, you can move the lids to paint light on your dishes.
