PROJECT #16C: STILL LIFE, Part 3 - Reinvented By You

DIRECTIONS
Using your lightbox set up - OR A SET UP OF ANOTHER KIND - reinvent the "still life" in your own way. Of course, vary the placement of your lights to create distinctly different images.

RATIONALE
To think outside the box (yes, that pun again), and do something (within still life) that is entirely your own creation and idea.

IDEAS
If you are bereft of idea(s), try incorporate the three of the following - in some way:
1. Something(s) frozen in ice.
2. Food coloring & water.
3. Something refracted through water/glass.
4. Cut/bent/folded paper (to create abstract light & shadow).
5. Multiple glasses/bowls.
6. Flowers.
7. Other...?

HOW MANY?
20+ photos

PROJECT #16B: STILL LIFE, Part 2 - Food

DIRECTIONS: Using your lightbox, choose FOOD as your subject matter. The food is your choice. Be clever and unexpected with the set-up and arrangement, and as with the first group of photos you made, vary the placement of your lights to create distinctly different shadow/highlight, angle, etc.

BEFORE STARTING:
Get inspired by conducting a "photography" search of food still life. Refine the search with "clever"/"modern"/"unusual"/"traditional"/"beautiful"/etc.
Also, peruse the links provided in previous posts.

A GREATER CHALLENGE:
How can you take something that you find/see, borrow from it, and then make it your own?
