My interpretation of Rinko kawauchi’s images started with the subject. After looking at her image of the hand holding the spoon I decided to take a photograph of a water being poured into a glass as the everyday task isn't something we linger on or class as a moment. I took the photograph digitally as I wasn't able to use the same medium as Kawauchi, therefore I just changed the format to match by cropping. Like Kawauchi's images that I researched i gave my subject a shallow depth of field with the foreground high in focus creating a delicate, soft atmosphere as the water pours into the glass which produces a similar vibe to Rinko's. the post production process involved altering the white balance and lightness to fit with the theme of Kawauchi's photographs.
