Connecting Essay Four

This is my image, I am not very happy with how this turned out, however it was my first shoot so it was something that I could progress from. So I am happy that I did this shoot because it taught me what works and what doesn't. I like how I laid this shoot out, although it looks more like an eBay advert than a photography piece. I wanted to try out lying out the objects that all related so that you could see them all, however it works better when the objects are more similar, for example, all controllers, or all discs, rather than things based around something like this was.

This is a photograph by Jim Golden. I love this image because of how much time and effort has gone into laying them out, it must've taken a long time as the photograph is very big so there are obviously a lot of cameras there. Golden has also used not many shadows for this image, which looks really good because the image looks clean and you can tell what every single object is and you can look at them properly. 
I love all of the colours that he has used in this image, he could've changed the photograph to black and white for emphasis between the dark colour of the cameras and the white background.

To compare the two, I would say that the photograph by Jim Golden is obviously technically better, my image was taken in my house and the lighting isn't very good because I used a lamp, I should've tried the shoot with natural sunlight instead to see if it improved how it looked. Or done it in the shoot in the studio where I could control it.
