If only we were SMALL...
For my final project my goal was to create miniature scenes of skateboarders skating items found around the house. Kind of of what fufilling a fantasy of what I would do if i was small during the harsh Michigan winters. For all my photos the two most important elements are lighting and scale. I wanted to portray a sense of realism with light and shadow, but then ground it, by showing a very small object that was large in scale.
For this photo I really tried to challenge myself by having the board be separated from the skater. This was achieved by taking a wire and hanging both the skater and the board from the wire independent of one another. I also tried to incorporate a different sense of lighting for this image by adding a small l.e.d light. It really give the photo a "night time" feel that I enjoy. I incorporated shoes into the composition to achieve the element of scale, and because shoes are a very important and essential part of skateboarding.
