Top 3 photographs
I have chosen these photographs as my final 3 due to the natural lighting, angles/viewpoints in which they were taken and because of the clarity and focus that highlight the intricate components of the binoculars. I have used the lenses and the fact that they reflect light to my advantage as it creates a unattainable effect in the photographs that wouldn't be present without the use of natural light/reflection. The use of a close up angle accentuates the features and details of the binoculars and creates a clarity and focus in each photograph.
Brassai-
Brassai uses light to highlight certain features in each object. He takes pictures of part of an object to highlight the details, textures and shape of the object. All of his macro surrealist photography is in black and white, maybe to convey the message that everyday is black and white and is ultimately the same. He has taken the photograph at an angle in which part of the main object is visible so therefore makes the object distinguishable. He focused on everyday objects such as bus tickets, tooth paste and rubber bands but also more unusual objects such as cooked bacon and pieces of frayed cotton and cardboard.
