This is a photograph by Andre Kertesz, Kertesz has used cutlery to make a shadow on the table beneath it, I like how this looks as the light source is directly above the fork, meaning that the shadow is very sharp and is the exact shape of the fork, rather than being slightly warped or anything. I also like how plain the image is, it isn't cluttered with lots of different objects that make it look too busy, whereas my image is slightly more warped.
I really like how Kertesz has used the bowl in this image, most of the shadowing from the fork is identical to the normal shape. However where it's leant up against the bowl. the shadow on the bowl is slightly warped, which makes the image a bit more interesting than it would be.
This is my image, I did this on a table in my house and I used a normal light, although, despite this, I think that these images are technically quite good. I was very happy with how they all turned out from this shoot, although at times the lighting was quite harsh.
In this photo, rather than putting the light directly above the spoons so that the shadows show less, I directed it to the side of the spoons, this meant that the shadows were warped to the left quite a bit. I think that this looked really good and made the photograph much more interesting as I think that it might've been quite boring before.
I think that both of these images are good and I am happy with the quality of my images. I edited my images to make them black and white as I thought that this would make it easier to see the shadows. However I couldn't get my image to the quality of Kertesz image, as the shadow looks a lot darker, I think that he must've used a brighter light which mean that the contrast was heavier.
