Smurf panoramas & mini worlds











I had a play with panoramas and mini worlds, experimented with colors and masks. At the end I went completely crazy and psychedelic. The issue that I am facing with my mini world is that my smurfs get stretched which probably means that panorama has to be a bit wider.

Precedents for mini world

While googling "mini world" I found really cool photography project "Minimiam" created by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle. They used food as environment for mini human ( and sometimes animal) figures.







Some of them were quite recognizable ;P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunch_atop_a_Skyscraper)

I really loved this idea and thought that I should totally try push a mini world idea a bit further than just wrapping a panorama of the city and distorting it. So my main word was MINI.

Test panorama and miniworld




Panorama and mini world made using images from the 1st shoot.


First photo shoot



This is my first photo shoot that I quickly did after the lecture.
