I did this project to try to think more creatively and experiment with this style of photography
"battle"
I was inspired by my brother's skylanders that he used for his video game. To make a more interesting background, I decided to go into the miniature woods by my house and put it on the "bridge" that is over our creek. I intentionally choose the two skylanders that looked like they were fighting so I could more easily create a battle scene. Once I set them up I took the picture so the lens of my camera was close so it was more of in more of a first point of view.

"Race time"
My childhood inspired the picture "Race Time". When I was younger my younger siblings and I played with hot wheels, racing them down the side of the staircase trying to make them go down the whole staircase without them falling off. This inspired me to go find the hot wheels box, but sadly I could not find it. I had to go out and buy new hotwheels and sidewalk chalk. I created the race track out of sidewalk chalk on my driveway. After positioning the cars and drawing the lines, I took the pictures low on the ground and from various angles, eventually ending up with this picture.

"parking"
keeping up with the hot wheels theme, I took the picture "Parking" I was inspired to take this picture from the many times that a third vehicle parked between my mom and my car. This was a many attempt picture. I tried to do a force perspective with this picture, but could not get the picture clear enough, nor could I get my hand out of the way. Despite my failures with the forced perspective, I decided to get low so that you could see the car and made sure you could see the other two cars in the picture to give the viewer information that the car is parked with other cars.
