1) Much of Lieko Shiga’s images are manipulated
in some way in order to achieve the surreal effect that she strives to achieve.
In the series Canary, she greatly manipulates the image by either setting up
the scene, or while in the dark room during production. Much of her work is
inspired by Japanese folklore, and mysticism.
2) Her photos in this series are mostly done
after dark, where she takes advantage of the darkness. In the first image,
titled Wedding Veil, she placed paper blossoms onto the tree. The second image
titled ‘How to Fly through the Sky is another example of photo manipulation.
Whale Tears, being the last image, is yet another example of her work. She uses
colors that complement each other making the images more vibrant and energetic
to look at.
3) Through her images in the series Canary, she
shows that cameras can capture something that might otherwise be lost. Even the
title Canary is based on when canaries were brought into goldmines to help
miners know when there were unsafe gases in the air.
