Intergalactic Mechanic

Here's another piece from my A Level Photography coursework, which I have since re-edited.

 

This was a strange new direction my Michael Paul Smith inspired forced perspective project took about halfway through. Here we have a Stormtrooper repairing his pink 1957 Corvette and demonstrating his little-known mechanical skills.

 

It goes without saying that the scale is a little off here because the car is 1:24 scale, whereas the Stormtrooper is 1:18 scale. I think it still works regardless.

 

The picture was taken late one night and so the only lighting provided came from the street lights, which actually turned out rather well. The forced perspective effect is let down somewhat by the shallow depth of field, but this piece still has a certain charm to it.
