This is the first page of the story, I wanted to focus on the two of them to show them together and happy, which is why I centered them in the composition. I set the table but didn't do much in the way of lighting. For all of these images I arrived to them by story boarding and brainstorming. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
In this scene salt and pepper are packed away into different boxes and they just get a glimpse of each other. I tried to make it feel like there was sort of a great distance between the two even though they are actually very close. Again, very little manipulation of light, only setting up the figures. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
In this one you see salt being taken out of her box, and you clearly see that their separation is caused by some outside influence (the hand). I was trying to get some motion blur, I'm not sure how well it worked but I liked that it was obvious that salt was being taken out of the frame. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
You see here that salt is place amid all the other spices. I wanted a busy composition, as it's a new place for her and she's probably lost among all the other spices. Again, no manipulation of light just the scene. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
Now you get to see where pepper was set. He's somewhere on the counter far away from the spic cabinet. I wanted this one to be relatively empty because he's alone. No manipulation of light, only manipulating the set with some help from my roommate. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
In this one you are seeing from peppers perspective and he sees the spice cabinet where salt is kept. It seems extremely far away. No manipulation of light, only the set. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
This is where pepper begins his long climb to reach salt. Right here it already seems impossible to make it to the cabinet. No manipulation of light only the set. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
He's almost there! It's the last stretch of the climb and he can see salt reaching down to help him up. Again I wanted to create this feel of something that just out of reach. There was no manipulation of light, only the set. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
And in the end he reaches her and they hug. I chose a close up because it sort of is the opposite of feeling that something is far away. It's right here, literally in their arms. There was no manipulation of light only the set. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
This image is actually the cover for my book. I was originally going to create a logo or title for the book but decided to leave it as only images The only lighting was the overhead light and a light from the front coming through my balcony door. I'm not sure if this relates directly to photography, I feel it relates more to film, which I am influenced greatly by studios like Ghibli and Pixar.
