Ideas: 

• Microwave plugged into a tree next to a person having a picnic.

• Putting someone's head in a microwave or a huge chicken in a microwave. 

• People eating with their forks on fire. 

• People eating oddly huge things like whole watermelons on forks. 

• Someone having multiple hands and eating multiple foods at a time. 

• Many forks or wine glasses lines up (could have model on the side or just up close of objects). 

• Model laying on floor in dark room with knives circling around their body. 

• Silverware and dishes hanging form trees or a house with someone in the middle of them.

• Many pairs of hands lined down a dinner table holding their silverware in each hand. 

• Instead of random silverware in hanging outside, I could have all wine glasses or just all forks or spoons hanging in straight lines in a dark room with a model wandering around them. 

(Side Note: all models are wearing brightly colored clothing)

Process: 

First, I took pictures in an area with long grass and the microwave for the picnic picture but there were some buildings in the background and my model looked very awkward and the scene just didn't fit. 

Here are some of the pictures I didn't use form my first try at this picture: 

Neither of these pictures felt natural enough for me and the microwave didn't stand out too much. 

The second time I tried out this idea, it turned out much better. I originally wanted a large tree to be in my photo for the microwave to be plugged into and for my model to have clothes that stand out more. So, I still chose yellow for my model to wear to stand out from the green and red colors of the blanket and grass, found a large tree, carried a microwave into the woods and took my pictures! Here are the images without editing: 

Here are the images with edits I made: 

I took down the exposure and highlights, brightened up the greens, reds and yellows, and put a white vignette on them to really focus in on my model and the picnic scene. I also cropped them a lot to emphasize my picnic scene. I really enjoy the image of my model inside the tree because it adds to my surreal feel of it but I really needed the vignette since the tree was so large and took away a lot of the focus. 

With these second set of images, I chose not to focus on the person eating as much as their emotions through facial expressions. I think the model eating didn't look natural and made their faces look strange. 

The second idea I want to try out is hanging wine glasses in a dark room with my model wondering around them. 

I tied many wine glasses to strings and then tied the other ends of the strings to a pole above my model to make them seem as if they were floating. I then edited out the strings using the spot healing tool and painting black over the whole image. 

Here are just some of the many that I took: 

You can see the strings in the middle image and some of the curtains as well. After I edited out the strings, I put the exposure down, changed the temperature so it wasn't as cool, brought up the blacks, brought down the highlights and exposure then messed around with the red of her dress and the slight blue tints in the glasses. 

I decided to go with the last image because of the depth of the glasses in the back of the image and the height of them. I like how all the glasses are at different heights and how my model is really interacting with them. I also like her facial expression in this image and how it shows more of a story than the others. It was very hard to chose this image from all of the other shots I took because I had her do many different positions and shot from a lot of other angles and the glasses were constantly swinging and moving so there were many different positions the glasses were in as well. 

Here are my final two images:
