l chose this photo because it has good lighting and a pleasing tone range. l used two photography techniques: depth of field and balance. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, emphasizing the foreground, creating a sense of dimension. There isn’t too much weight on one side of the photograph, to ensure that the composition feels balanced. Influenced by the Japanese artist Tatsuya Tanaka, l mostly used everyday objects to create my compositions. He is known internationally for his Miniature Calendar project that features miniature dioramas of everyday life using common household objects. I photoshopped some of the photos to make the lighting better, and l also cropped some to make the characters seem bigger.
