Rene's Room

For our projects in first year we were often given little day long tasks to finish which at the time didn't seem to make any sense. Only weeks or months later does the value of such things become apparent, such as forcing you to think differently about generating ideas and finding inspiration.

For this task we had to recreate a scene, from the folk story we'd chosen, within a box. I made a plasticine fish, got some tissue paper for debris/seaweed and put the box with everything in it on top of the light box table in the studio, in the hope of getting interesting effects and shadows.

 

I came to the studio when it was dark so I could get shots like this using a torch.
