advertisement project

For my ad project I am photographing masquerade masks. One thing that I think is working throughout the project is that the lighting in my photos really illuminates the sparkles and bright colors of the feathers on the masks. One thing that I think is not working is the lighting of the background in my pictures that were taken in the studio. In these few pictures the background looks kind of grey instead of a dark black that is supposed to make the items look like they are floating in space. I tried to crop my pictures a little more tight than normal so that the background is not too distracting, but I also left enough room for the logo of my item. I tried to place my logo in a place where you can see it and recognize but also where it won't take away from the actual picture. I tried to keep the logo in a good proportion to the photo, not too small as to where you can't see it but, again not too big as to take away from the product. I used blending options only as needed, and I do not think that I over did it in any way. I set up my slide show in a way that I think it flows. I started with the photos that were taken in the studio and with the photos that the most masks and then moved to the photo with less masks in the studio. I then moved on to the photos that I took outside of the studio and moved from the most to the least masks.
