I used the lighting in the room on most of my objects, I didn’t really use a specific angle for light. I did use my flash on the second picture for simplicity, I used it to create a shadow in the back of the object.  In terms of editing I used a high contrast black and white filter, I added whites and black into the pictures to draw attention to the objects. Such as my point of interest shot I used high contrast to focus the eye on the flower and bowl. Also, the close up shot on the flower. Black and white focuses more on the objects then the color, and also shows the different values in the picture. My favorite image is the bird's eye view because I like that the background is very dark and the flower is very light, so the viewer is drawn to the flower. My least favorite is the symmetrical photo, I don’t like the background for the picture, it makes the image very busy. I wish I would have put paper behind to create a solid surface instead of textured. One thing that was a positive surprise is that it all goes together, because I used the same objects, but incorporated new ones. I also used the same type of editing on them all. My biggest concern was that they weren’t going to go together.
