White is an incredibly difficult color to work with, capture, and achieve. In one of my art classes we had to paint a white pot and its shadow without using pure white or black (white or black could be added to tint or shade, respectively) and it was incredibly challenging. In creating this photo I found that the lighting and white balance were causing me more problems than I had anticipated, especially since I wanted to avoid cool or warm temperatures creeping into my image. My main goal was to focus on simplicity in order to study lines, contours and lighting. I really enjoy monochromatic, well, everything, really, so I feel like there's a lot of myself in this photo.

Enjoy!
