TAOP
Part Five: Narrative and Illustration.
Project: Illustration.
Exercise: Juxtaposition.
I decided the book cover route would give most control over the image and its lighting.
The first image is only a work in progress but one that I found amusing. It is based on Peter Benchley's "Jaws". I produce the following but didn't carry it through to the finished product.
The book I finally settled on was, "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit", by Jeanette Winterson. The book has lesbian overtones, although the author denies it is a book about lesbianism. I have attempted to work in both a hint of the book as written and a play on the words of the title.
The background consists of two T-shirts of appropriate colours to represent the theme of the book and the fruit to give the title literal meaning. I'm sure that the sexuality that is present in this depiction of the fruit is not lost.
The lighting was supplied by two flash heads with soft box attachments, one next to the lens and to its right and one high up to the left and slightly behind the subject. This has given nice highlights on the fruit as well as providing good modelling.
