Week Four - Minaiture Madness

For this week, I cracked open my old dolls house I had as a kid which sadly got ruined. I had originaly planned to keep the images colour but I changed them to black and white as an experiment and was happy with the results. The images look very eerie.

My first in this series of images. What I really love about this image is the contrast between the chair and the rest of the image.  The depth of field really helps the chair stand out. All the detail in the little dolls house furniture really makes the images.

This is by far the scariest from the series. While editing this one I put the contrast up to create more of an atmosphere in the image. This was taken in a hallway of the dolls house. The halls are very narrow which made the photograph frame itself with the walls which makes the whole area feel more closed in a chlaustraphobic, adding yet more to the atmosphere.

My favourite thing about this image is the shadows. While buying the furniture for this room a long time ago, I remember choosing the fireplace due to the fact it's very similar to the one we have in our lounge at home. I had never realised until I had finished editing the image that there is the shadow of the woman in the dolls house over the fireplace. This made me want to go back and take one just of her shadow.

This is the aforementioned image of the woman's shadow. I thought it would look better than it does but overall I am pleased with it. The way the image is positioned looks like it's a bust when infact it was a whole doll of a woman.

This is one I really like from the shoot. I'd probably say this is the most successful in the way that it is the closest to looking like a real room. Again, I feel what really makes this image is the shadows and contrast. The image has graduated tones from the left to right, starting very dark with many shadows to a simple blank wall to the right.

Last but not least, this is the outside of dolls house. You can see from here how damaged the dolls house is with the missing door, damaged windows and ruined paintwork. I love the lighting in this image but I don't feel it looks very realistic.
