For the images
with motion Blake Little used a fast shutter speed to freeze motion. The shutter speed can be anywhere between
1/250 and 1/1000 of a second. He placed
all of these subjects in front of the same background this sort of gradient
gray that fades into a softer white.
Blake Little
chose models of varying ages. His
subject was that of “preservation”.
Honey has the effect of encasing the subjects in a semi-permanent yet
ever moving substance, which draws interest.
As stated the honey gives this Amber like effect. This can be compared to when insects are
trapped in the honey and made “immortal” in a sense in that they are
preserved. The photographs are
attempting to give that same feeling.
I enjoyed
viewing these images. I feel that they
all have these harmonious qualities. The
golden yellows and soft browns give this interesting glossy glass like texture
over the skin and fur of these subjects.
These photographs are unique and put a new spin on the word
preservation. I noticed here that I
focused more on the subject’s placement, movement, and form versus the person
and background itself.
