Generating Ideas - Still Life

Harold Edgerton
I find Edgerton's work interesting because he captures movement within his still life which challenges the perspective. I think Edgerton makes the whole perspective of still life seem more appealing and interesting. I think it would be truly challenging to the perspective to produce images that are inspired by Edgerton, with the idea of adding movement to a still object.

David Lachapelle
I'm not too keen on this image by Lachapelle because I feel as though it's too crowded. The image fits into the horror genre due to the severed mannequin parts. I think that there is too much going on within this image which can be confusing because there is so much to look at.

For my still life image, I decided to take an image of a dress so it looks like someone's wearing it. To do this, I took an image of a model wearing the dress and carefully selected the dress and then cut and paste it on a plain background. I quite like the look of this image because it shows the figure of a person, but that person isn't there. I think this image could have been improved if the model's figure was more clear.
