One of the many things I love about light is that it can drastically change the way a subject appears based on the angle, direction, and position the light source is at. I took this photo of a bowl of olive oil with vinegar, while my friends and I were making caprese sandwiches a few weeks ago. My creativity took flight when I had the idea to take the picture from underneath the transparent bowl. Because of the fluorescent source light on the ceiling, the olive oil appeared to be more of a neon yellow, and the blobs of vinegar became a tinted dark red. So the entire mood changed from cooking in a home kitchen, to feeling like someone could be studying cells under a microscope in a high tech science laboratory. It was pretty cool to realize that this huge change was the direct result of changing my perspective from the source light.
