last shoots

This shoot is a kitchen appliance being used creatively and "out of the ordinary". it goes along similar lines to the breville alice in wonderland jug, the james bond blender. This is the elf cutting down the giant mushroom.

Some issues i found doing this, my lens was not the right choice for this doing the mushroom as it needed to take up the whole frame for the background. so i pieced together 4 different parts of the mushroom which keep the mushroom as a whole in focus, as a single photograph would render only a part in focus. Secondly, cutting out the little man was difficult to make it appear that he was actually under a giant mushroom.

This Shoot was funnily enough, the first shoot that I actually thought of, and it ended up being the last shoot to do. Luckily my model didn't mind waiting all semester to finally take her role as a typical 60's housewife, in a sterile, modern kitchen. This shoot is about the oven as the kitchen appliance. Some problems i had was positioning the light, as there was not enough room to accommodate the light stand. Also the reflections in the oven also played a difficult part in the post processing, to minimize the boldness of the skirt. All in all, a typical Women's Weekly shoot back in the 60's, worked well.
