Draft 1 of Slinkachu Project
For this project I decided to focus on a British street artist named Slinkachu. I researched his style of photography and tried to copy it. He is best know for a project called The Little People Project and the photographs in that series are the ones I focused on. His photos convey complex narratives about human conditions. The steps he uses to creating his photographs are: use train set figures for characters, think up the story you want to tell, set up the scene by thinking of it as a miniature film set, after shooting the scene, walk away and leave the installation for someone else to find. Slinkachu leaves the scene after the picture has been taken. His set blends into the city, but when viewed up-close a new universe is revealed. He tries to emphasize all of the alienation and loneliness of modern life through his photos. Human nature is a major theme that he attempts to communicate. Although I did not leave my installations after I took the photos I still followed his recipe and tried to demonstrate his themes through my own photos.
Hey Malia! These toy narratives are hilarious. and I really like how you used the world around you to create them. I think the minimal editing works for this project. Great job! and I cant wait to see what else you produce.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used various different places to create different backgrounds for each picture and I think these look really good.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are very creative and well staged. I like how some photos in the series tell a story. The framing is good and the scale is not clear. However the background could be blurred a little more in some of the photos.
ReplyDeleteAll of these photos capture a very human feeling very well. I think you did a good job in being creative and setting up the photos.
