Concept

The original idea was to use projection to create silhouette images of my sculpture with landscape backgrounds to create the perception of a large creature when in-fact my sculpture was about the size of a doll

Inspiration

for this idea I drew inspiration from Cindy Sherman’s rear screen projection

Studio Set Up

Using a projector and a my sculpture propped up i began this process, at first I was manually taking the photos but after experimentation I discovered a low shutter speed would create the highest quality images, in light of this I began using a tripod to prevent image blur and in order to capture the highest quality image I was able too

Photoshoot

favourite images focussing on silhouette

next steps

After experimenting with silhouettes I next began projecting onto the sculpture instead of behind and I found this far more successful

these images will be fundamental story telling images in my picture book, in order to portray the size and supernatural nature of the creature.

photoshop experimentation

using photoshop i then began to experiment with the camouflage effect i was able to create through projecting onto to sculpture with higher quality photos of local woods.
