my attempt here was to invoke a feeling of "being relaxed". the intent was to use soft lighting for the atmosphere, warm colors to put the viewer at ease, extremely soft shadows and subtle shapes for ease on the eyes. i chose to use wine and books because that came to mind first and i really didn't think about what would put another viewer in a relaxed state.... and perhaps this was the downfall for this image.
overall, i'm happy that the image came to be what, i was seeing before the shot. the only question now is ..... when interpreting this image, do you feel "relaxed"? if not, what thought does it bring to you? ......... do you think atmosphere in an image can be set with lighting? and do you think the choice of lighting was proper in this image?
i'm sure there are probably millions of questions i haven't asked myself, but .... i'm putting myself on the chopping block to learn what questions to ask myself. if your interested in this type of photography and see anything that could help me in conecting with the viewer, my ears are open.
thanks,
brad
