Research of other photographers
What I like about pencils are that they are so simple and easy to find yet are so anaesthetically pleasing to look at. The way they are arranged can impact the image like putting the pencils from lightest to darkest makes it show that the photographer has put in the effort to not make it look disorganised but give the audience a sense of progression in the colours. Putting pencils in a white background can make the photograph boring and repetitive but adding pencil shavings to the background gives it more life and colour to the photo.
