I chose to take pictures of bananas because they are really tumblr and simple. Since they are simple it isn't too hard to take photos of. Also they are a nice color and yellow looks good with white.
I took pictures of lemons because when I looked at other still life's there was a few with citrus like oranges and they looked really good. I thought that I could take pictures with lemons because they are a nice yellow color. Also they are circles so you can re-arrange them anyway you want.
I used color pencils for my photos because there is multiple of them and different colors. Therefore, you can make the colors contrast and place them in cool patterns and shapes. Not only that but they are a cool simple shape and easy to take photos of.
Like I said before lemons are a great object to take photos of because they are a nice, bright color. The green in the limes are a good color too. Overall these are good colors with white and they are simple.
I like how food displays look. They are usually balanced and are nicely layed out, so I did one myself. Also I like how they show everything from an above angle.
