So I gave it a go with some objects I have lying around in the studio and had a whale of a time. What's really spooky though, is the appearance of a face in the top right of the first photo here ... I have no idea where it came from.
From time to time I read photography magazines and blogs in the vague hope I can pick up a few tips to improve my photography for my website and other publicity tools. It's my least favourite job because my photographs never come out as brilliantly as I think they will (I have never so much appreciated the skill of professional photographers!) I am a terrible procrastinator when it comes to having to grapple with tripods and remember how to do the settings on the camera, and guilty of using my phone or iPad instead (I know - it's not a great idea for an artist to fill up their website with phone pics!) But today I read something absolutely fascinating about misting a polythene sheet and setting objects behind it. I thought it was a brilliant idea (I bet all you clever photographers are sniggering up your sleeves at me getting all excited about what is probably the oldest trick in the book for you).

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
