Gluttony
This assignment was quite interesting
and posed some challenges. I decided to use my pet snake Rodger as my subject
for this assignment. I shot all of these photos with the same settings being my
shutter speed at 1/1250, an F stop of 4 and an ISO of 25600. I thought it would be interesting to use a
snake as my subject instead of using a human. For the first photo, I decided
having Rodger on top of my roommates rent money represented greed well and It
surprisingly only took one shot. For my second photo, I put Rodger in my bed
with the sheets tucked into bed looking lazy and comfortable. To represent wrath,
I set Rodger up with one of my pocket knives and tried to make him look as
menacing as possible however he moved a lot and it made it difficult. To represent
envy, I tried to get Rodger to appear to be yearning for the outdoors by
looking outside a window, this is mainly because he’s an indoor pet. For lust I
tried to put Rodger with a fancy looking watch and to make it look like he was
yearning for it, however he was starting to get cold by this point and started
moving a lot. For pride I put Rodger back in his tank and wanted him to look
like he was prideful of his tank. To represent gluttony I fed Rodger and he was
very happy to eat, however he is a constrictor and was moving a lot so I got
the best photos I could.
