Slinkachu
The 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place, photograph and leave on the street. It is both a street art installation project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography and the titles I give these scenes, aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed. But underneath this, there is always some humour. I want people to be able to empathise with the tiny people in my works.
This Slinkachu image has used small depth of field, the background is out of focus and the cigarette box, man
with cigarette is in focus. I like this image because the little figure is smoking a life size cigarette.

Worst

The story behind this is: This figure is about to fall down the poll because he is carrying 2 buckets of grease. I have set my focus point on the figure which is in the center. I have used a small depth of field because I did not want the background detail to be seen.
Fifth shoot
Worst
This is my worst photo because the camera was out of focus and the focus point was not on the figure.
Also I moved the camera causing camera shake.
