My concept for the final idea to break down household products to demonstrate what they are actually composed of. Thus, the original source for the product and its final components are made clear through my photograph and shown together in one shot. I will represent the objects against a plain white background to give the impression of a sterile environment in which the product is under analysis. The white background will also help to draw attention to the object itself rather than there being any distracting background details to detract from the subject. The main issue I have to consider is the text and the font as this is the key in anchoring the purpose of the photograph- (so the audience may understand it properly) - and maintaining its factuality as text can destroy its credibility. The issue of food and health and personal wellbeing is very topical at the moment and is actually flooding our media daily. Over a quarter of our prime time TV has been taken over by reality food programmes and documentaries. For example, Jamie Oliver's series on "Fowl Foods" which explored the poultry industry and 'You are What You Eat".
Even the government is getting on board enforcing packaging of food to declare the contents of its GDA
One of the artist's I've been looking at for this concept of dissection of objects
is Damien Hirst - in particular, I have been studying his series of animals after their treatment by the taxidermist - i.e. animals in formaldehyde
The images below gave me ideas how I might present my series of photographs using the same split theme concept.
