Your artistic interpretation this week should be inspired by something sweet. A great chance to play with macro photography.
Actually pretty difficult one to do, had this idea where I was going to blow up a shit load of bubble gum and frame them like hot air balloons, but would have been a logistical nightmare, so on the way to the shop I decided against it and had a spontaneous idea for tribal jelly babies. The rest is history.
Would have been nice to have spent more time with it, but if I were to do it any differently would have meant different sweets that would have meant more money, that I didn't have, so there you have it.
It has made me realise that a lot of shots are just limited by how much money I can burn, and yes, on one hand it's an exercise to see how much you can do with nothing, but one other hand it's frustrating when you had a really cool idea but aren't able to go through with it.
I do like this shot. It's fun, it's quirky, it's little bit weird. And was insanely difficult to make those chocolate bears look menacing. Though I think I pulled it off ;)
It's a crazy shot. Love the creative idea :D not sure I agree with your money rant tho- you could always have taken a pic of sweets in shop. I haven't managed to get a good one that way yet, but I will :)
ReplyDeleteI did think about that, but it would just look a bit generic in my opinion. Sure I could imagine a few nice colourful shots but nothing that would make me feel like I've done something creative, which I feel was the real essence of the challenge.
ReplyDeleteIn my head, the best I could think of would look like a nice picture for a magazine article!
