Location
This photo was taken with in Richland, WA, USA, where I spent six months before returning home to southwest England.Time
It was the middle of the day. I had gone outside to smoke a cigarette. When I came in, I was struck by the geometric shapes of an open pack, the bright colours, the possibilities for abstraction.Lighting

I was struck by the geometric shapes of an open pack, the bright colours, the possibilities for abstraction. `the absurdity of smoking in ignited a comic treatment.Editing
I used, as I always do, Snapshot to sharpen and clarify. I then applied several filters through PicsArt.In my camera bag
My iPhone is always with me. I edit on my iPad.Feedback
My camera is unprofessional but portable and easy-to-use. My editing technology is rudimentary. This implies that anyone with an understanding of what makes a great image can, with practice, create striking, unusual photos from whatever is around. I do recommend tutorials on taking great shots, particularly with an iPhone, and studying editing techniques. The best part is that it’s creative and great fun.
