Hi Brooke :) Inspired by your video today I set up in my living room and shot a few images. I looked around and found a jar of decorative sand that suddenly looked like a beach in my head. This is one of 2 images I created. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJBNcVNgezY/ Thank you so much for always being such an inspiration!!

Thank you so much for this series!!! I have this horrible yellow walls (not even white. Bleh.) and I’ve always felt like there’s nothing I can do at home. Your WWW series has shown me that just isn’t true! This image is more inspired by the series as a whole, not this week’s “top down” prompt, but I wanted to stop by to share and say thank you. =)

I love this, the colors and tone are beautiful. I took my first over head photo a couple of weeks ago for a composite: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sunshinedeal/27948201793/in/dateposted-public/

I’ve never taken a photo from above like this, so even if it doesn’t work out, it should be fun.
Is under the weather code for Addicted to the Olympics? That has been my problem lately! 😉 Hope you are feeling better. 🙂
I love that photo!

This is such a beautiful image with the rusty tones and the emotion in the pose. I love images shot from above (I have a wide angle lens that my husband bought me for this purpose!) – here is one I shot last year, inspired by a challenge from Lindsay Adler https://www.flickr.com/photos/luna-8/20121825570/in/dateposted/
Thanks for sharing your process with us, I’m really enjoying this video series!

I love time pieces in images. They always make me think of my father, which is very special and emotional for me. Love how you changed the colours in the final image. It gives the image a warm and antique glow.
Strangely enough, the first image I ever did for my fine art conceptual portfolio was from the top down… It is the only time I ever shot for my portfolio from this angle (although I’ve used that angle a lot for nude work) and for a long time, it was also one of the very few “indoor” images in my portfolio…

I took this quite simply lying down on my bed with a piece of sheer fabric cover me. I love the eerie and forgotten feeling of this image. Many still say this is their favourite from my portfolio 😉

In reply to Derick. I agree! Props are amazing, my office is covered in them (a moon mask, lanterns, a ladder, vintage cameras, clocks, sea shells, a saw, buttons, and more). I keep that clock set at 8:08 at all times because that is when I got married (08-08-08) and 8s, or infinity signs, are very important to us as a symbol. :)

Beautiful and evocative. In particular, I love the rust/patina tones in combination with the old world clock face. I think I love props as much or more than photography, especially antiques. Random creative question, but did you set the time (8:08) with intention?

Awesome work for your WWW! I love it! Thank you for sharing!

Actually quite the opposite is true for me with this image, and part of my answer is knowing what the dress looked like in camera – it is a see-through dress unless the fabric is bunched up together, so many of the edges were see-through (I could see the carpet through it) and I decided, after I did a hard cut out, to go over the edges with less opacity so that you could see the clock through wherever you could see carpet before. I hope that makes sense! In the end, it adds believability for me personally since I only erased where it was naturally see-through. Always a learning curve though and I’ll definitely take a fresh look at the previous edit I did without that to compare <3
