Project 3: THINGS - new direction

So, photographing the violin today wasn't a great success because there was not much I could do with it. Although I got a few good photos, they are pretty much meaningless so I have decided to redirect my train of thought.

Second shoot of various different objects also didn't go so well. Contact sheets are below.

I am very interested in the play on scale and have discovered tilt-shift photography.

The videos below I found very amusing and I really liked the distortion.

This is somewhat closely related to some of Sian Bonnell's work, especially the Scenic Cookery and the House Beautiful series. An image I liked from the House Beautiful series was the bread tiles in the bathroom.

Along with this transformation and changing the meaning of the object, I am also quite interested in the new commercial aesthetic that Levi Brown communicates. I love the bright colours and want to photograph something that is mass produced.

For my next shoot, I'd like to merge a bit of both from each of these artist models.
