Life In Miniature
Project:
In this project, we were asked to create a story through images using toys. By creating a composition in which the story will take place and having your characters (toys) tell the story through their position, or “body language," we were also tasked with editing the images afterwards, but editing other images into your images is not allowed; only the exposure, vibrance, saturation, and so on were allowed to be used and edited. We also had to create storyboards before taking our images. It was important to get the story done before adding the characters because it created the “base” for the process and planning that went from there.
Research:
Imagine a little human navigating a Kit Kat-made raft across the bathtub. Or perhaps a small vehicle with a human and a cow standing on the roof that is partially submerged in the mud. You may produce this kind of small photo with the aid of our instructions.
The goal of miniature photography is to construct an entirely new world, complete with imaginary people and a plot. Your creativity is the only constraint on the tiny universe you can construct.

There are no guidelines as to how plausible or true to reality it must be. There are no rules in this amazing area of photography, so you can never make a mistake.
The best part about photographing miniature figures is that you don’t require a lot of equipment to get started. When you are a novice, keep it basic. As you gain experience, you can make your photos more intricate, realistic, or conceptual, which will require more props.
If you truly get into this style of photography, miniature photography can be expanded to include larger Hornby railway sets and larger Lego creations in addition to character figurines.

Rational:
My story gives that element of surprise by giving the idea that the bear will be eaten by the lions, but actually they were just fascinated by his reading. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and it shows the message clearly, no description is actually needed because the photos visually communicate the storyline really well. It is vibrant and has more or less the same saturation and vibrancy. The images are clear and bright. I had a lot of fun doing this project, and I learned how to create a composition and how to visually communicate a story.
