Slinkachu
Slinkachu is an artist who is based in London he place little figures of people and puts the around the city he makes them do what we do as humans using different objects and things some things are unusual as well once he is done with them he leaves them around for people to see his work he started this in 2006.He doesn't only work in London he has been to lots of different places as well. Slinkachu always puts a meaning behind his photos he wants people to know the meaning,by leaving them out on the streets once he is done with them. He says the reason he leaves them out and about is because he likes to think the story lives on. He rarely hangs around to see what happens to them but when he does he says they are looked at for a second then they are destroyed.

This photo is one that I really like it is a super hero sitting on a beer can.He his made him fat as well the fact that he is sitting on a beer can makes me think he is drunk and when you think of a super hero you would think of someone who flies around looking for crime to stop but you wouldn't think of someone drunk sitting around with nothing to do.
The photographer has used a small depth of field because there is nothing to see in the background so it is out of focus.
This photo is also perfectly exposed because the man can be seen clearly and there is enough light for that.
He uses natural lighting to show the man and the top of the can it is almost like he using natural lighting for a spotlight on the man.

Kenneth Botto 1937-2008
Kenneth Botto was like slinkachu he also photographed small things he used his toy collection.He died of cancer at the age of 71.
He is more of a older photographer his photos all link to destruction. He uses a lot of robots because lots of people think robots will turn on us one day he used robots a lot in his photos.The one thing I find the most interesting is all of his work is done with natural light he used mirrors to reflect light from outside.

Some of his pictures
What I will do
In this unit I will base my work in the style of slinkachu and I will be trying to take photos like him.
My first shoot
My second shoot
My ideas for a slinkachu photoshoot
The two activities I have chose are death in which I will need red paint and a few slinkachus I have also chose swimming in which I am going to use a puddle and a slinkachu I will try to make a diving board I will use card board and paint it then I will use it to go with the swimming pool.
My First Slinkachu story (Photo shoot 3)
In my Slinkachu photo I used Plasticine to make the swimming pool and I used a few props like the ladder and the figure I also used the Plasticine to hold up the ladder.
Worst photo(Photo shoot 3)
In this photo it looks like he is about to dive but the angle shows it looks nothing like a swimming pool and plus in the background you can see the rubbish really clearly.
Best photo(Photo shoot 3)
My Best photo from photo shoot 1 is probably this one mainly because or the angle it was taken from even thought I couldn't get the right slinkachu it still looks like she is about to dive into the water.
My second slinkachu story(Photo shoot 4)
My third slinkachu story(photo shoot 5)
Worst photo(photo shoot 5)
The one thing that makes this photo the worst is it is over exposed you can just see the boat but you cant tell it is a boat.
