This week we booked some Canon 5D’s to experiment with, in order to attain some photographic inspiration and get to grips with the technical aspects of using the camera.

After some trial and error, I was able to take these images. What I like the most about the photos is how such an everyday, boring object is made to look artistic thanks to the lighting and composition. This idea of making something so ‘everyday’ look interesting and beautiful is one I’d like to explore further, as I think as human beings we can often dismiss the beauty in something just because we see it on a regular basis.

However, I would like to look into other avenues of photography such as a film camera or a point and shoot camera, as there is a certain aesthetic and feel from film photography that is unachievable with a digital camera.
