Research into Slinkachu

Slinkachu is a street artist and a photographer, he is 28 and and lives in the Untied Kingdom.

Slinkachu started his little people project in 2006, the idea was to put train model set people that had been repainted and put into environment that looks like the little people are doing activities. Slinkachu uses the macro setting on a camera to get the right focus and to see more detail of the little person and less of the environment.

Muybridge motion studies

In a lesson we tried to recreate Muybridge's motion studies by putting a line of 4 camera's and taking picture in the right interval to get the same kind of effect.

3 Light Set Up

Today we tried to take some professional pictures using the 3 light set up technique. We had to take a picture and to be in a picture. 

Pinhole camera obscura

Today we attempted to try a camera obscura. We started off by cutting of one third of it and then put some tissue paper and put the cap back on. Then we put both ends back together and used masking tape to reattach them. After that we poked a hole at the bottom of the can and then we put foil over the can to block any light while putting masking tape to cover any places left by the foil.

Muybridge motion studies

As a group we tried to recreate Mutbridge's motion studies by putting four camera's in the same position up a line and took picture at the right intervals to create a moving image from different pictures. We had four pictures that had the same shutter speed and took the pictures before the subject came in to view.
