Metaphorical Documentary
I love the aesthetic of documentary photography - crisp, highly detailed, monochromatic images with ambiguous narratives that conceptually transcend time and space. This documentary explores aspects of the human condition with small anthropomorphic animal toys. It is surreal and silly, deep and shallow all at the same time. These images are meant to be compiled into a family album style book, with captioned images measuring 9 x 7 inches (22.9x17.8 cm).
