3rd assignment technical exercise

In my technical exercise for the third assignment I had the idea to shoot a set of Russian Dolls in different situations around the house. I feel they are perfect candidates to use to demonstrate composition, framing and angle of view. 

The dolls are six lovely repetitive shapes that can be framed to clearly demonstrate how certain angles of view can completely change the height and perspective of the objects. As well as a tiny shift to the left/right up or down bringing a completely new perspective on things.

Here all the larger dolls are lined up behind the smallest one.
The angle of view and framing allow the larger dolls to be
completely obscured from view.

A small shift to the left reveals the set up.
Here the dolls can clearly be seen from shortest to tallest
 using this lower angle of view.

Here the dolls appear the same height by using a slightly
higher angle of view and different spacing between the dolls.

They can also be used to demonstrate the difference between wider and closer framing. The further out the framing, the more information can be gained by the viewer. Closer framing accentuates mystery and intrigue or can set the viewer at ease when used in the right context.

A closer front on view gives the viewer little idea
about what is happening in the rest of the room.

A higher and wider angle of view reveals much more!

A slightly lower but still wider angle of view can better
demonstrate the accurate size and height of the objects in the frame.

These basically inanimate objects that can appear to take on lifelike qualities when cleverly composed in certain positions and by using certain angle of views to obscure the techniques and manipulation.

A tighter close up viewpoint can be used to create
a touching moment between the largest and smallest doll.

A slightly wider frame may distract from that intended moment
 and reveal information you don't want to!

I think as a photographer I am drawn to close ups. I like the idea of looking deeply and intently at things. It suits my personality I guess - being someone who always wants to look closely at the details to try and understand things in depth, as well as not generally shying away from any intense emotion in a situation. I'm hoping to create this feel in my project. I am much more drawn to photographing the plants close up and creating mystery and intrigue, than framing wider giving away their more recognisable forms.
