DISCUSSION
My photo essay was on my turntable and how I choose to display it. My turntable is a big center piece in my room and I pay a lot of attention to how I display it (Stickers, Cassettes, Vinyl, Pictures, etc) and I wanted to pay attention to how I express that in my photos. A good number of the things on and around the table are already black and white to begin with, so I paid a lot of attention to contrast and how clean pure black and white can make a photo look. I played with different angles and aperture so each individual photo was visually appealing and avoided looking the same. I tried to fairly mix up the order of the photos by changing the focus point in each photo. I put in some photos focusing more on the details surrounding and complimenting the record player to decorate it rather than the record itself. These photos also helped add emphasis to how sentimental the record player is because it's also displayed along with trinkets and pieces I've kept.
