Place Your Bets // All In

"Place Your Bets // All In" is a study in value, inspired by the Quarantine Photo Series "Game Night," with photography by Brian Tampol and prop styling by Dureen Truong. The piece began as an exploration of light and shadow, rendered entirely in black and gray to emphasize the varying intensities of value. Once the monochromatic base was established, I introduced color, carefully matching each hue to its grayscale counterpart. This process allowed me to maintain the piece's depth and contrast while breathing life into the composition through vibrant tones.
