342a/366 Position paints perception
At the beginning of Autumn I revisited the "play trunk" that I had found in a clearing in the forest, with the aim of exploring it from many different angles. I think that from this set of photographs, it is clear to see that the choice of framing and the way that the light is falling on the scene makes a massive difference to the interpretation of the photo. While image (a) has perhaps a slightly menacing tone, in image (b) the fallen trunk almost seems alive and stretching its arm out to grab at one of its living comrades.
The way that the perception of a scene changes based on the position of the viewer is not just limited to images, it is something that effects every issue that we face in our lives. An important point to reflect upon, especially in times like these.
Film: Rollei RPX 100
Camera: Mamiya 645 1000S with 80 mm f1.9 lens
Developed in Ars-Imago R9 (rodinal) 1:99 semi-stand.
