Funny Food Art

So close

I am now in the editing phase! The scenes they were greatly time consuming, as well making myself a little sick from chewing all this gum for one of them, but I really enjoyed doing them. Exploring the different lighting to make the scenes and ways of making objects. Printing this coming week and hopfully can make it to an art exhibit this weekend I have been itching to see some art.

Heres a lil Iphone photo of my first real set up. I added some lighting and other elements not shown here. Im looking forward to the rest!

Round 2

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Good Stuff

Wednesday . . .suggestions please!

So I am still trying out more ideas and trying to expand, I am having a difficult time getting farther nothing I am trying out I am excited by. I will have some more photo snapshots to post later tonight. I would love any suggestions!

Thanks

test session 1

Here are photos from my first tests.  It is pretty much snapshots of some ideas and different ways I may want to go with my project.  These are not congruent just feeling out which way to go and the very minimal of those.  Let me know any suggestions I am not sure where to go from here but just more shooting.

Looking at more work

I been looking at some more stuff , I came upon photographer Olivia Jeczmyk. 

Tim Walker

So I have been looking for some more inspirations for all my work in general.  I stumbled upon Time Walker, I have known of his work before but never really researched it.  I  love the strangeness of his scenery and models together.  It can go with my want for shooting a more strange, quirky scene for my next project as well as my interest in a fashion style of photography.  Deff a style I enjoy in fashion.

new project description

Project name: 

 made scenes/object

Description:

I want to work with the idea of items out of there normal context of use. It being either as simple as a misplaced style of scene or whole set ups of scenes changing a perception of the items.  Meaning to be a more upbeat, quirky way of portraying these scenes or object.  Something light hearted, yet maybe even strange.

Conceptual Concerns:

My concern is not being able to keep a fun and quirky feeling to it, as well as it pushing over to  it just being dumb instead of clever.

Technical Skill: 

The technical set up of the objects will be something that I am concerned and looking forward to.  Correct lighting to portray these scene correctly.

Formal Guidelines:

3-6 photos 

between 8x10 & 16x24

Artistic References:

David Shrigley

Irene Cecile

Readings:

Possibly book on arrangement

Grade:

Conceptual idea came through

Technically

Goal List:

Learn new lighting technique

Set up of small scence and sets

Things are slowly moving along

I have looked at some artists and am starting to get some ideas flowing.  I have found some photos by David Shrigley (thanks Kyle) that seem to head me in a good direction. 

I also found the work of Irene Cecile that was an inspiring start.

I like the strangeness of these photos as well as the quirkiness of the video's on eatpes.com

I want to have an end result of photographs that give a strange and funny quirk to them, hopefully I am starting in the right direction.  I am going to try a different route that I usually do and just start shooting some simple things first and see where it takes me . . . scary!

Oh boo

I feel pretty lost, I mean I have an idea but just in general I feel lost. Like I have to grow up and somehow get paid doing what I do scary and over whealming!  I want this next project to be something I normally dont do.

Troubled, suggestions please?

I am having troubles with deciding things for my next project description.  I like the idea of funny scenarios of fairy tale characters in real life situations ( being drunk slutty ect.) but I also wanted to work with the idea of using items or food in funny situations. I dont like the idea of them in the fairy tale scene but something like peanuts getting drunk or tater tots doing drugs.  Fashion them of course to look as they are alive.  I dont want to work with actual people in these situations.  Im not sure if any of this is making sense just spouting off ideas but if anyone has suggestions please fell free, lil stumped at where to go from here.
