This project was about showing various emotions and themes at a “Kitchen Table” setting. After taking these pictures we showed that the setting wasn’t actually at a kitchen table but it was a fake set-up. The actual project “Set in the Street” is inspired by a photographer named Justin Bettman. The set was inspired by the work of Carrie Mae Weems and her Kitchen Table Project. The tools I used for this project was in the beginning the marquee tool. I used this to make the outline for the shadow I was going to add. Then I experimented with the curve tool to darken the outline after I made it inverse. The shadow was too extreme so then I put the feathering effect and I added my logo to finish it off. In conclusion, this assignment was very creative and interesting to make up our own themes for each picture.
