I placed a green hat, on a patterned cloth, resting against a wrought iron candle holder. I added a green lit candle on the holder, and three Bosc pears on the cloth. To complete the scene I added a black chess piece. This arrangement was photographed against a black backdrop and a black table. The elements of this composition really stand out against the dark background with reflections.
Green Hat, Yellow Lilies, and Chess
I love putting together lots of different props to create a cohesive composition. I gathered a brown candle, green hat, vases, a chess piece and yellow lilies. Who would think that these unrelated items could come together to form a masterpiece. My composition was arranged on a muslim cloth featuring yellow lilies in a terracotta vase. I positioned a green fedora hat, between two vases containing the flowers. An ornate candlestick holder holds the brown lit candle. The objects are arranged on a textured surface against a muted backdrop, creating a serene and balanced scene. The two images are different in that they both have different background colors.
