Quentin Bacon, uses his background to connect with the subject, which are the different kinds of foods and drinks. For example, he does not use a solid white background, as seen with other photographers, who make the food the only subject in the image. The background he uses includes cups, silverware, ingredients used, etc. The image below is of what seems like a bean stew with bread on the side. In this photograph the viewer can see that there is a variety of colors and contrast between the background and the main dish. The table cloth is a vibrant dark blue color that brings out the color of the food because of its orange color. Bacon did this intentionally because blue and orange are complementary colors. The photograph was taken on an overhead angle slanted a little to the right, since the image is not centered and not on eye level. When it comes to composition, I think the plates could’ve been organized differently because the far right hand plate is cropped out, therefore making the image distracting. I believe there was no need to add a third plate and if it was necessary then it could’ve been more towards the center and out of focus. The green parsley in the photo makes the orange beans have even more contrast between them. The crumbs on the left hand side give the image a more realistic mood because when food is being served, it can get messy at times. The lighting used does a good job at focusing primarily on the big pan with the bread pointing out. The details of the bread are crisp and clear. Overall, the photo was well taken and the viewer can tell that the main subject is the big pan towards the front since most of the surrounding items are out of focus.
