Inspired from the idea of a dollhouse and the concept of play ( Child’s imagination and a child playing with toys).
Thus by using scale manipulation, I am able to show the contrasting effect in terms of size between the child and me. At the same time, the scaled down image of me in the kayak, make it looks as if I am a toy. I chose the background to be the galaxy as it shows the the endless possibilities of a child’s imagination. The field of flowers represent the innocence of the child. I also made use of the rule of thirds to position myself in the image. To further enhance the focus on me on the kayak, the child’s eyes are directed towards me to draw the focus to the direction that I planned.
The process I took was:
- Finding and taking various shots of different distances
- Picking the pictures that would best fit my concept
- Fusing the images together to create a seamless piece of work
I enjoyed the process of being able to go around to take various photos, experimenting with the angle of my shots and to experiment with juxtaposing.
