Texture

The three different photos I took of the cactus plant outside of the Art building show the texture of the plant in a very interesting light. The first photo I took was a standard image of the plant and you can see the prickly thorns that stick out of the outer edges of the plant. There is also some visible wear and on the plant as some of the individual frawns have darker brown spots. The second picture I took revealed a second texture that some people may not easily notice about this plant. Although the fringes are thorny and sharp, the inner part of the frawn is visibly smooth and pretty flat. The third and final shot illustrates the pointy tips at the very ends of the frawns, and you can visually see the texture of those thorns as they appear durable and spiky.

Perspective

Perspective is extremely crucial and is an important component of photography. The first photo shows a unique perspective and illustrates what it would be like to actually yield the putter on the golf course. I thought that this perspective would be unique, and would allow my viewers to experience the Scotty Cameron and make it seem as though they are holding the putter themselves. The second photo analyzes the putter from a more head on angle and really allows the viewer to analyze the shape of the putter. The third and final angle is from a further distance and allows the audience to view the putter in its entirety. All of these angles capture the essence of the putter in a unique light.

Emphasis

Advertising is prevalent in photography. These pictures illustrate the importance of brand recognition. The creator of this putter is named Scotty Cameron, and the brand of the putter is called Titleist, and there seems to be an emphasis on marketing Scotty Cameron as well as the brand Titleist multiple times on the putter. This esteemed craftsman has established his own logo which is seen down the middle of the candy red grip, the sticker which is on the shaft of the putter, and the hosel of the putter. The brand name Titleist is also stamped on the putter face. I tried to focus in on these parts of the putter to emphasize the reoccurring theme of brand his name as well as the brand Titleist.

Lighting

Changing the lighting by turning off the lights had a great impact on the details of my putter. I turned on the flash and the first picture I took was of the face of the putter. The face of the putter is actually much more detailed as you can see the smooth circular lines that make up the face of the putter. The second photo outlined the cavity of the putter, which holds the four circular colors and the screws but the fangs of the putter were dark because of the angle at which the picture was taken. The third and final picture was also neat because the shaft of the putter almost appears black when in reality, it is a grey steel. All of these lighting changes outlined different parts of the putter and added a new perspective.
