Fabric Photo: Daily Create #3


Assignment: Fabric: we wear it, sleep on it, decorate with it. Make a photo of an interesting cloth design or texture. 

Recently I've been trying (and failing) to re-organize my closet/clothes. I learned two things in the process: 
  1. I have WAY to many clothes.
  2. Fabric is interesting (something I'd already known, however I re-visited the topic).
Thus, I took photos of different clothing. Shown here is a portion of a pale pink shirt I have. The colour was washed out when I took this picture, making it seem more grey than pink, but I the effect it adds looks interesting. I enjoy the abstract feeling to it, as there isn't much in this photo that tells you what is being depicted. The texture around the focal point draws the eye in and gives the photograph movement. I also think the shadows produced by the levels looks striking and clean. 
As for the focal point I re-read about the rule of thirds recently, so I tried incorporating parts of that concept as well. Overall this picture was fun and I enjoyed photographing different renditions of it.
