CRAFT
I used a GE 12.2 mp camera with and without flash, depending on the lighting. I tried to find the simplest backdrop when possible. I did not have the means to create a black backdrop or a well light one either. I also used a couple of images I took from various trips abroad.
CONCEPT
I did not have a particular "vision", so to speak. However, while eating a bowl of macaroni and cheese, I decided I wanted to use it as my place with people jumping into the noodles and lounging around the bowl, like a spa. Oddly enough, the picture of the macaroni that I was so set on using did not please me. I figured that my images would come together some how.
COMPOSITION
As I previously mentioned, I was going for a macaroni and spa theme. I didn't really know which objects to use, so I snapped random ones on my desk...and an exit sign, which I snapped thinking the text could be useful. I selected locations that I thought were unique and that I could work with. They're actually some of my favorite things--food, computers, the apls... I photographed the people last in order to get them in poses I thought I could use with my objects/places. All of my favorite poses happened to be set up for the macaroni, aside from the horn player. I just think he's cool.
