Still Life: Favorite Photo of the Shoot

 So for my favorite (or best) photo, I actually decided to choose two, because one of them doesn't "technically" fit into the criteria of the assignment, but its tangentially related, so I decided to add it in.

This is the classic Still Life I liked the best. I typically prefer a more simple composition that is not very busy. This also reminds me of my final for darkroom, and I love taking pictures of skulls. The shadow in this is very interesting in how it draws away from the jaw so sharply and looks almost foreign to the object. 

I also added this photo because it is a step removed from the still life and gives perspective to the assignment as a whole. You can see what the picture they are taking is of, but then you also have the view of the cameras taking the picture. While that may take away from the illusion of the artwork a bit, it also adds additional depth to the idea of a still life, and adds character to the work.
