Drawings of Subject Matter

Pencil drawings of subject matter for my recipe book cover.

Photos of Subject Matter - Contact Sheet

I took these images with the intentions of either using them as a basis for illustrations, or editing them and using them on my book cover design. The successful elements of the shoot were the close up images of pasta, which would work well as images on my book cover. The single images of the kitchen utensils against the white background were also successful, as the angle of them would make it easy to use them to draw from. The unsuccessful elements were the shots of the pot of kitchen utensils and packets of pasta, as the angles of the photos do not look effective. If I were to take these images again, I would take more of the single kitchen utensils against the white background, as they would be effective both as photos on my book cover design, and as a basis for illustrations. I would also have used better angles when taking the other photographs.
