Hayden C - Remember When?


The title of this photo is “remember when?” and is of some Littlest Pet Shop Toys on my floor. Specifically, all the cat LPS I own. It was taken on my Canon camera, and it was the same day I was taking photos for the still life assignment. I edited it by bringing down highlights and deepened shadows before trying to make everything warmer in tone to hopefully make it feel more “nostalgic.” This photo was taken more on impulse, so I wasn’t thinking too hard about the composition or anything like that. I wish I had because I feel as though everything feels a little awkward in how it’s placed. But I think it kind of helps the photo in giving that feeling of beloved childhood toys pushed aside as someone grows older and moves on in their life.

This is a very awesome photo. It is very nostalgic and the editing adds a very warm feeling.

This photo is awesome!! You mentioned that the composition feels awkward, but I think that the randomness really adds to the nostalgic vibe of the photo, which you captured very well. The photo feels very raw and nostalgic. The light shining down, specifically illuminating the LPS is very beautiful--even if unintentional. I think that darkest and lightest parts of the photo feel a bit extreme, and the photo could feel more cozy if the lighting was brought more towards the middle and some edges and details were softened.
