Hawaiian Banana Bread Photos

This week I was supposed to practice packaging photography but, after reading the small paragraph about packaging I realized it was going to be hard for me to do it because I wasn’t actually packaging my bread. I just continued working with my available light source which was

natural light and my kitchen lights.
I placed the bread on a plain black plate and put a white reflector board behind it so I could light up the back of the bread and to make sure there wouldn’t be any harsh shadows. I set my tripod up and put my camera high enough that when you look at the image it would look like you are looking down at it.
I set my camera to manual mode, attached the remote cord to it and started taking pictures.
After, I was all done taking pictures I did my basic editing in photoshop. I adjusted the levels, brightness and contrast. Then I sharpened the image using a high pass filter.

Vegan Banana Bread

 This week i didn’t do anything too different when photographing my bread. I arranged my bread in the kitchen the way I wanted it to be seen, I put a white board behind it to add some contrast and I used a basic desk lamp to light the front along with natural lighting. I did basic editing this week. All I did was adjust the levels, bump up the contrast and brightness a little and in this particular photo I converted it into a grayscale image.
