For these photos I found two, quite large, technical objects that I dissembled and placed out onto a background in order for them to look aesthetically pleasing. I placed all the individual parts out in a way that almost forms that of a pattern, but I more intentionally did it so that viewers can see all the different parts and components that go into the making of these machines. The idea behind these photos relate to decay, as the inner elements that an object or living thing has, often plays a part in the rate/way in which it begins and progresses to deteriorate. Its because of this that I believe stripping such objects, and revealing their inner parts and pieces, is so heavily related to my overall topic. The laminate floor that I used as a background was purposeful as I need a surface that was extensive enough to cover the full spectrum of each design, However, was plain and bland enough so that it didn't take away anything from either image, nor will it distract viewers. I used very bright lighting, shone by that of a miniature portable flood lamp, in order to light the first photo, however, relied on natural lighting for the second as I felt overall it made the photo feel less forced. There is no particular composition to either photo, however, I placed each individual object in alignment with another, so both photos look planned and specifically executed, similar to the way in which McLellan did himself. I thought it was relevant to photograph the objects in their original state, as I believed both photos therefore nicely contrast one another, its also quite representative of decay in that your showing a fully functional object in its prime state, then showing it again dismembered and practically useless, linking in with the overall effects that decay has on everything. I also had to elevate myself in order to show both objects forms from above angles, again so that the audience were able to taken in everything that was on offer in a cohesive and reliable manor. I had to be extremely delicate when taking apart, and placing each item in arrangement as they became very delicate the further I delved into both objects, and I believe this is well interpreted through the precise and coordinate style of both examples.
