Ok, honestly, I thought this assignment was going to be too hard. But I loved it. This was probably the most fun project I’ve done, actually. For this “Perspective” assignment, I took an ordinary object, like a saxophone, and created nine images of it in different perspectives. My sister, Megan, was gracious enough to pull out her instrument and let me take pictures of her with it. I used some indoor camera settings, an adjustable standing desk-lamp, and a wooden wall in one of the bedrooms. Although the steps were tacky, It turned out pretty nice looking.

My Favorites:
I love this bottom close-up shot, because of the super cool background, and the shine on the rim of the neck. Somehow, this photo also captured the engraved designs on the sides.
I really like this photo. The hand, the lettering on the neck, and the big keys make this photo interesting, and gives the viewer multiple things to look at. This is the type of photo I would be ok with staring at if I had nothing else to do.
Finally, I like this picture because the focal point is in the minor detail of the instrument. I love the four whiter keys in the middle, drawing attention to the center. The solid brown color on the side adds a crisp finish to the side of the sax. What I like most, though, is that past all the shine and light, you can see that the keys have been thoroughly worn. The gold paint has come off in places, and the shine is gone. This picture shows more than a saxophone; it shows a loved saxophone. I admire my sister for competing in marching band with this baby for 7 years.
