Still Life - Documentary/ Practice, Ideas shoot

Unedited/ Untouched photos.
These photos are from the same shoot, (the previous two posts). I like the look of these photos quite a lot and I am pleased with how they turned out. The lighting, in my opinion, was good and I like the shadows created. I like the look of the first image's angle however the paper edge which is visible would need to be fixed, with a simple resolution, possibly a longer piece of paper where the end isn't visible and that would then take out the background currently used and the longer paper would become the background. The second photo is where it starts with the overhead shots, more like Irving Penn's photographs of Cigarettes, which is the inspiration for this style of shot. The third and fourth shot are in the same style. Like previously mentioned, I like the lighting on all photos except the first one as the shadow, I personally don't think quite works, mainly because of the angle of the shot however regardless of the shadow I do like the angle though. The third and fourth shots are my favourite out of these four and out of the third and fourth I'd have to say the fourth photo was my favourite because of the variation in the ash lying about within the shot, I think it makes the difference and I think it works well for the shot. I like the positioning of the cigarettes as well, though not too dissimilar to the previous shots, in this image they're not quite as straight and lined up as equally. The top and bottom needs to be cropped otherwise I think it is a good overall image.
