1. Out of the 9 still life images that I took, my favorite one was #7 Analogous Reflected. That was my favorite still life image because of the colors that I used. I used analogous colors which are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, so I used orange, yellow, and green. To photograph this image I used a shutter speed of 1/60, aperture of F6.3, ISO of 400, and I edited it in Lightroom. I used reflected lighting to direct the light onto the props that I used in my image, since I had to use reflected lighting.

2. To turn my image into a product-style photograph I went to Adobe Photoshop to edit, and the first thing that I did was upload a background. At first I had used the gradient tool to create my background but it didn't make my product stand out. So then I changed it to a beach background which structured my product better. I then used Finder to drag and drop the fruits and plants that I wanted to use in my advertisement and uploaded those. I would position where I wanted to have my props and then would add a layer mask to all of them. I would then use the black and white paint brush to reveal and conceal. I also added shadows to make my objects seem more realistic as if they were on an actual table. It gave it the illusion that there was an object behind my product that I was advertising. A skill that I learned from the practice that helped me the most when creating my final image was grouping my layers together. This helped me the most because it helped my work stay more organized and it helped me not mess up any of my layers. 

3. To design my final product I used the skills that I learned from the practice product photography and used my notes to create it. I already knew how to use layer masks and white and black to conceal and reveal so I incorporated that into my product advertisement. When I photographed my product I didn't use any lighting and used a white background so that my object wouldn't have any shadows of color on it. I then edited so that it seemed like I was advertising my product.
