In 2020, a bored young lady decided to make herself pocket-sized using an app.Having grown up watching movies like ‘Honey,’ ‘I Shrunk the Kids,’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ the idea of being small in a world of big things has intrigued me. After following some creatives' works (such asJoel Robison) on Instagram, I was further inspired to attempt to create scenes exploring what it might be like to be only a few inches tall. Additionally, using conceptual art, as well as surreal/manipulated art, brought more emotional depth and intrigue to the images.This post may includeaffiliate links.In order to execute a scene and achieve the desired effect, I learned to pay attention to two major details: lighting and angles. First, I created the setting with a clear idea of where I would place myself. After choosing an angle, I took the photo. Then, using the same lighting (or lighting I could match in editing) and matching angle, I took the photo of myself. Specifically, in the photos where I appear to be behind glass, adjusting the opacity was key. To achieve different moods, I adjusted the lighting, but only after the images were taken.RELATED:The thought of learning to use Photoshop always daunted me. Instead, I found other tools that did the trick without the big learning curve. Still, when it comes to learning anything new (especially when you’re teaching yourself), there will be challenges. I found that some ideas did not turn out the way I hoped, and some did not work at all. One of the posted images lacks an obviously needed shadow. You have to learn to be just as creative in problem-solving. The way to overcome challenges is to practice and push beyond what you already know to find a solution.I enjoyed learning to create/creating these mini-me images and will continue to make more if inspiration strikes. I’ve also loved trying out many different concepts, themes, and ideas that are posted on my Instagram. Truly, I do not see myself stopping my exploration of photography or artistry at any time in the future.See Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaModal closeAdd New ImageModal closeAdd Your Photo To This ListPlease use high-res photos without watermarksOoops!
