Ten Pennies

Creative Project

Given 10 Pennies...

As you may know, I like to try to create pieces of art out of objects that seem to have no potential at all. For my advanced photography class we were asked to do just that. Given just 10 pennies and having to shoot straight down onto white paper, we had to create an interesting composition. For this image, I had my flash fire off to the left to create the lighting effect you see. As for the pennies, I stacked them on clay, later being informed stacking them on dimes would have probably been easier, to put them at different heights.
