Falling Letters

Falling letters


To make this one I made a fake book page in photoshop, then I printed it in the same size as the book and pasted it inside. At first I was gonna make the letters fall from the book into a little pile but it was way too complicated (to achieve without photoshop) so I made it simpler.
usually when I plan on making a photo I search a little in flickr to see if my idea is already "taken", turns out this one was but I still wanted to make it. :)

This is the book page (the text is from Alice in Wonderland ;)

Apple Ice Cream


To make this one I made the melted part out of clay (the apple is real), I painted it with oil paint because I couldn't get the hue I wanted from watercolor, then I went to the ice cream shop to buy a cone and I put a little amount of clay inside it too.

Nothing special about this one, I just hanged a plastic frame with thread to an umbrella which was supported by my lighting tripods and then in PS I removed the thread. 

The Set-up

Camouflage (4)


To make this photo I went to my rooftop and used one of the mirrors from this shoot, put it in such a  way that it would only reflect the sky, then I painted a couple of clouds on my friend's face and placed an umbrella on her left.

Rosa de agua

To take this picture I made a basic "rose" shape out of a plastic bottle, I taped it to a twig and then I placed them upside down to pour the water over it.
The shot is composed of several shots to make it look like there are petals, below are some photos that made this shot along with the set-up.

Time

To make this shot I had to improvise everything! for the background I used a large piece of cardboard (that I painted previously for homework which was to recreate the shower scene from Psycho, that was my set) also the gears are made out of the same cardboard, I hanged the hourglasses with some thread to a wire and that's it (only the third one is glued to the cardboard).
no special lighting here, just the roof lamp.
Here's the set-up:

Einstein

The tricky part here was to make the body of plaster and the hair with masking tape (and then joining them with hanger wire!), the desk is an old wood table and the blackboard is a cereal box with green paint I think.
here's the set-up:
