urban jungle-5, originally uploaded by barnumz.
And so, i have decided to take up yet another photo challenge. This time it is for Metro Express Global photo competition with the theme ‘Urban Jungle’. I have had a few ideas in mind, but had to narrow down to the most practical ones as the time and resourses were limited. One of my ideas incorporated a few people/models in prime parts of the city. Most of the volunteers bailed out on hangover alibis. Therefor, we (Paula and Me) had to find other ways to get this shoot done. After walking around half the city, we decided to do a chai-latte at Baresso, where i told her my plan B, which was well recieved. All we needed was a fish and a spherical bowl. None of us being pet owners and no access to the internet, we raked our brains for petshop. Paula claimed that she has seen one at Amager-Center.
“ok, finish your chai, then we go buy the fish and shoot it” said Paula to me. A statement that could be so much outta Tarrentino movie.
We managed to get the fish and the bowl, and my idea was to shoot the bowl in the middle of the city by dusk as to get the vibrant colors of the sunset. But i later realised the the cold temperature outside might kill the fish before i get my shot. So. i decided to shoot it on my balconey instead. so, here is the outcome.

The idea of the fish was to basically explain the the shot was taken upright. it does somehow give it a special dimension, or life to an otherwise still life refraction of the building behind.
