Overall, I think the idea of scale exaggeration is clear. However, I would work on the perspective. The door's shape and perspective seems off in comparison to the side of the camera it's on. A shadow would help the figure seem more natural in the frame, as well. Overall, good job.
The camera has a minor reflection in the material that has become the ground of the picture. The figure doesn't. The figure is also entirely separate from the object. I definitely think the effect would be better accomplished if the figure was interacting with the object, or at least it's shadow.
I think the matching of the angles is well done though. It doesn't instantly stand out as a composite, despite the obvious scale play.
There is a distinct visual difference between the camera, which is super sharp and well lit, and the man, who is a bit fuzzier and lacks the mirrored reflection in the white plexiglass. He would also appear more distinctly if he were dresses in black. This would also form a nice visual connection with the black camera.
A good idea. It will be interesting to see how so much negative space works with stretched canvas.
I enjoy how clean and simple this piece is, however, I agree with Jeff about the figure being better lit and more in focus. Doing these things and adding a reflexion on the plexi would make this more successful. I enjoy the negative space but I also feel like it may be too much? Potentially adding a third element like a light meter or lens cap or something could make the space feel slightly less empty.

ReplyDeleteI get the concept however I think that this is kind of cliché and a little simple. I would look for ways to push the concept or present it in a different way! Maybe make it more of a house scene, put it around grass, trees, bushes, flowers, etc. instead of the plain white space
