I hope this idea is fairly straight forward. The burger is a pin cushion, there's a french fry garland in the back ground. It's safe to say my idea is sewing based. It was simply an odd fantasy I had while I was skimming sewing-sites.
You are my sunshine... my only sunshine...
My initial idea was the very last photograph, but I decided to experiment with different compositions before deciding on a final. The order the images are arranged, is the same order that they were shot. I'm not too sure how I feel about the final products.
The first image seems a tad cliche, and the second is even worse, but I like how simple the images are. The inspiration for arranging the food like a sun came to me while I was standing in line. I was surrounded by middle class people who were standing in long line ups to order lunch and chat with their friends or families. I felt that these seemingly well off people were attracted to the fast food restaurant much like a bug is attracted to a light, and of course the reason bugs are attracted to artificial light is because it looks like the sun. the second image was a comment on the fate of insects and their pursuit for electric light: death by electrocution. Given that the last image was what I'd had in mind, I feel that it doesn't do justice to the idea that inspired me.
Please let me know what to change or fix or get rid off all together.
Cheers!
I agree with you, I like the simplicity of the first image. I would perhaps photograph it directly from over top and center it to add to that effortless viewing?
ReplyDeleteYour third image is however a lot more interesting to look at. It moves my eye around etc. However I find the elements and their meaning a little lost on me. For instance the thread, I'm not sure what it is representing (if anything).
SO my suggestion to you would be trying to combine your 1st and 3rd images (the ideas) to make it a cohesive statement. Maybe actually get some feeding bugs from a pet store and incorporate them into your image. Perhaps moving towards to sun-burger? Or festering in the sun-buger? You'll have to play with the idea.
Goodluck!
I agree with Megan! I think the third picture is very interesting to look at. I love the simplicity of the first picture though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely play with the idea (again what Megan said) =)
I like the composition of the first image and the colours stand out to me but I don't really understand the idea.. Maybe if you add an more of an explanation, but I like what you have so far :)
