Slinkachu
The simplest way to describe slinkacu is as a London-based artist who creates very small street-based figures and then photographs them: from far away and up-close.
The street artist known only as Slinkachu has been abandoning little people on the streets of London since 2006. His first project, ‘Little People in the City’, men, women and children living their lives on the streets of London and was in the 2008. Since then, Slinkachu has done a number of other projects.
The 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place, then i leave on the street. It is both a street art project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the surprise and I aim to encourage city s to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more photography and I give these to , aim to reflect the loneliness and of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed.

PIERRE JAVELLE AND AKIKO IDA
Since 2002, gastronomy fanatics Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida have been photographing a series of playful dioramas, called MINIMIAM, combining miniature figurines and various kinds of food.
MINIMIAM is an apt combination of the words miniature and “yummy“ (miam in French). The miniature dramas, featuring model train figurines and fruit, vegetables or sweets, introduce us to the lives of mini people of various vocations in their everyday situations. The photographers take the close-up shots of their scenes first, and then show us how the scene works in a bigger picture.
Through the MINIMIAM project, the two professional food photographers draw our attention to contemporary issues like global warming and our dominant relationship with nature. The main purpose of these mini dramas, however, is for the photographers to have some fun and make the viewer smile.

The is a median depth of field so we are able to see the car and the person in focus. So this shows when birds poo on your car screen and you have to clean it of and also the guy is disturbed because of the poo. The central focal point is on the car and the rule of third small depth of field comical story.

All the focus is on the old man figure to show that he is lonely and the back ground in out of focus. So he he has used a low depth of filed. The red scarf contrasts nicely with the gray background. I have noticed this a lot in slinkachu work and would say this is a characteristic.
Slinkachu back ground was out of focus so the figure with have the spot light he took the photo from a angle. He has used a low depth of filed so the focus is all on figure. slinkachu has used the rules of third to create affective picture.I like this picture because it shows the figure tring to fly and most boys like superheros.
The worst shot
I did not like this picture because you can see the glue tack it does not look professional and should have took it from a birds eye view it would have looked better so next time i will use less blue tack.
Next time need to change the expose because its a bit yellow .
Next time need to change the expose because its a bit yellow .
Shoot 1
This is my worst shot because everything is out of focus and you can see the glue tack is standing the figure up and the aperture must be set really high and the focal point is out of focus. I there is some exposure.
Shoot 2
I think this was my favourite picture because you can see the guy clearly in a train track and he probably just wanted to go for a stroll a very long one.
Shoot 3
The best shot
This is one of my favourite because you can see a clear image of everything and the focal point is on everything and there is a little exposure. I set my aperture down a little. you can see the figure travelling across the water like its being save by a life guard inflatable ring.
Shoot 4
These are my worst shots because you cant see any exposure nor the focal point. everything seems to be not in order. because you can only see the figure.
Shoot 5
This is my worst shot because you can see the whole thing blury and the figure is also blury. The exposure is very blury and there is no focal point because you can't get a clear image of the figure nor the bird. I must of set my aperture up really high because everything is out of focus.
Isacc cordal
isaac CORDAL 1975, lives and works in London
Isaac Cordal’s work is driven by the sculpture . Cordal is a first and foremost a traditional sculptor, modelling his primary figures in clay. He then makes many in cement using silicone molds . He installed in locations, and it’s this easy to approach to his street , his work so well to it’s environment. The cement figures blend into the landscape by their use of similar materials to which they are placed within. He installes the tiny figures in cities around the world.

Isacc cordal inspires mebecause he lets the environment takes its course for example (some boy could kick or throw it in the bin or the boy can trod on it . Cordal has wide imagination look at theses photos you can see a old man sinking in a trolley. Cordal shows that you can use anything and that you can place figures outside or inside.
The finale shot
This is my favourite photo because you can see a clear image of everything and I think I set my aperture down because there is a good depth of field. also the focal point in on the clear line of both the figure and car. The exposure was perfect.
My conclusion
I need to improve my work to jump to the next grade boundaries I also need to explain my shoots in more detail because I dont use enough technical terms.
