Shrek Life

My still life idea is utilizing the characters from the Shrek movie and associating them each with a color scheme. The concept is Shrek and how each character can be portrayed through colors and objects. I am choosing 6 characters and matching them with colors then creating images that portray the character through a set of still life objects in the color they match with.
I am choosing and matching the following, and this also shows the ideas I have for the items I will use in them:

Lighting techniques:

Shrek- candlelit look, dark background and focus on olives and bring candlestick (in studio black)
Fiona- 
Donkey- bright and happy lighting shining on waffle maker, maybe try spotlight (in studio white)
Lord Farquad- dramatic and rich lighting, like a candlelit dinner (at home)
Gingerbread Man- mid-bright light, possibly lamp over gingerbread house, cozy lighting (at home)
Dragon- bright, well lit, focus well on onion (in studio white)

Props and Color Palette:

Shrek (green)—green jello/slime or green olives in fancy container, light candle stick
Fiona (blue)—princess crown from dollar store w blue flowers and maybe sunflowers sort of old w blue ribbon
Donkey (grey/b&w)—waffles or waffle maker
Lord Farad (red)—red velvet cake on red velvet w glass of red wine
Gingerbread Man (brown)—gingerbread man or house
Dragon (purple/pink)-- big purple onion cut open

I'm pulled inspiration specifically for the pictures that will include photographing food from Annabelle Breakey, who always has perfectly lit photos and the food always looks really appealing

I also chose Stephanie Gonot as an inspiration because her photos are largely based off color and the way she places color with the objects she photographs is always really well done. Her aesthetic matches mine well.
