When I was composing my photos in the first series, I found that my subjects were lined up on the ledge, very much organized which I feel that the photo was looking dull/static. Hence I decided to look for something that may give the whole photo an interesting foreground, thus changing the viewer’s perspective – instead of introducing everyone that “my subjects are the tortoises”. By adding the grass as my foreground, it adds a sense of depth. Besides, by moving my camera slightly higher and lower, the photos give an illusion that I was actually moving/approaching the subjects. In the second series, I used both a 24mm lens as well as 200mm telephoto lens. It is interesting to see the difference in the scale!
