Christmas in March

Our Final Assignment in my still life class was to shoot 2 images for a calendar and we had to represent the number of the month. My month was December. At first I had no idea what to shoot, resulting in me missing two scheduled slots making this a last minute project. Some ideas came to me and I went about working on them. 

Hands down, I put more time into this project than any other. Which makes sense, I suppose, since it is the final. Making and wrapping 3D numbers are a lot more difficult than I expected. Props to Bryan Andrews for making the numbers. Once they were made, I pulled an (almost) all-nighter wrapping them.

For the ornament tree image, I stuck the ornaments onto a piece of Plexiglas using poster tack. I stood the Plexiglas up and then lit it to get the shadow.
