The opposite of light is dark, the absence of light is shadow. Interpret this into a masterpiece.
I really wanted to try for something special after researching shadow photography online, there were some really brilliant and creative uses of shadows.
Originally I was playing with the sunset, creating silhouettes with Clem the cat. And although I created a cool picture, I wasn't really happy with it. One, it didn't fit the criteria, and two, it wasn't as unique as I wanted, I wanted to put my signature on it.
So yeah, I think I got carried away with this one. So much so it gave me a severe case of photography block.
Eventually I settled on using an Atlas, that I cut birds out of, placed them on some fairy lights.
How random you say!
It is.
I borrowed the shapes out of maps idea from a creative person I follow on instagram by the name of Kim Searle, who used Tintin comics to create lampshades. The bird idea was mine, but I probably borrowed that from somewhere and the fairy lights came in because they were there, and it works.
Anyway. Boom.
