Black Hamburger- Michelle Nunes

So this is my photo for the theme fast food. I painted a hamburger (not from McDonalds) but from home black. Why? Well weirdly, when I read the theme this is the first thing that came into my head. I think because I was inspired by a picture of Chanel McDonald boxes:

I think that black adds a sense of elegance to the fast food, which usually is one of the least elegant foods we eat.

  1. I really enjoy this take. The only thing I would say (channelling Alex, and recently Iain) would be to pull back, get the whole plate in the shot. It'll make the black hamburger stand out even more against the warm porcelain and background.

  2. i agree with alex about pulling back! and maybe try and make the background/plate a stark white, to really bring out the black because the strange magenta-ish tint throws me off.

  3. The only thing about this i would possibly change is the colouring like Carrie said. It's kind of distracting that everything is in the same monotone. Changing the background and plate would definitely change the feeling. I like the way you have cropped it. Really keeps my attention on the burger:)

  4. I actually really like the crop on this one!! But I agree with Casey and Carrie, the plate and background being almost the same colour can be a little distracting, but other that that, nice shot!! :)
