342/366 At the beginning of Autumn I revisited the “play trunk” that I had found in a clearing in the forest, with the aim of exploring it from many different angles. I think that from this set of photographs, it is clear to see that the choice of framing and the way that the light is falling on the scene makes a massive difference to the interpretation of the photo. While the first image has perhaps a slightly menacing tone, the second almost makes the fallen trunk seem alive and stretching its arm out to grab at one of its living comrades. Image 3 reveals a little more and is in my opinion slightly weaker than #1 for that reason. And finally, the illusion is broken for good with image 4.
The way that the perception of a scene changes based on the position of the viewer is not just limited to images, it is something that effects every issue that we face in our lives. An important point to reflect upon, especially in times like these.
