For this photo, I chose my roommate's perfume bottles for two reasons: 1) because she had laid them out neatly, and 2) because I wanted to play with the transparency of the object. Here I chose the Chanel perfume as the main subject of the photograph. I moved closer to the bottle and focused on the label so the other bottles would not be as in-focus. I took a number of photos in this manner with the bottle in different space of the photographs (slightly more to the left or right) but this felt like the most balance shot. Having the bottle in the center made the photograph feel a little stale. I also tried to take the photo with the camera lens lower to the surface of the drawer so it would looking up at the bottle. It had a nice of established a "overbearing" presence of the bottle but it also did the same for the bottle to the right (the one called Bella) so I chose this photo in the end.
