Miniature Scenes

One of my first ideas that I have held on to for a long time is to create scenes by arranging small figures into their own Tableaux style scenes.

The surreal scenes often use some regular sized object to have the figures interact with. The example above shows one of these concepts. It is an interesting way to create Tableaux images and means that the artist must think about how to represent this environment, and to create it. Unless the artist has the ability to create their own figures they will also be limited by the different positions of the figures that you can use, there is a real need to plan ahead with the shoots. I like the interpretation of environment in these images, looking at full sized scenes and interpreting them in miniature is a really interesting concept. The images can have different meanings and connotations, and can be used to express certain feelings and have underlying tones, often though they are just a bit of fun.

Generally shot with a shallow depth of field there are few main elements, and several extra elements that support the scene. In the two images above the regular sized objects are not in singular, this makes it easier to understand the comparative size of the objects and figures. The surrealism of the images is expressed due to the difference in size between the objects and figures, the idea of being shrunk down to a miniature size, but still carrying on with normal ife is very interesting . I do not know if I will pursue this but the concept is still  interesting and if I do not carry on with the water concept then this is something that I could carry on with, however it could be challenging because of the lack of context and amount that I could do.
