This is a test shot for my recent project for my next review.
Over the past month I have collected obsolete televisions from unwanted owners. With this collection (which is around 15-20 televisions) I planned to create an installation, giving these devices a new function and meaning. It is also making a statement on how frequently we upgrade our technology, ultimately questioning if we really need to, not to mention observing how much waste and rubbish we collect doing so.
I recently shot the T.V's in an empty lot, but due to the weather conditions being too bright, the images didn't achieve what I had originally pictured.

I decided to re-shoot in my garage, where the televisions are currently stored. The above image is what I captured today. I think this environment is more sucessful as I can manipulate not only the imagery, but the lighting and environment surround it. I also have the ability to take my time with the photo-shoot, instead of rushing; which is what happened when photographing within the empty lot, as I did not own the block of land.
Thoughts?
