Will Nolan
Content- Will Nolan has experimented with the process of melting several ice lollies against a plain white background, highlighting the bold, outlandish, extractive colour schemes to each of them. The contrast between the plain background and the overwhelming sense of colour in the photos makes for a very peculiar and abstract view of something quite simple, and the continuous composition of each creates scenes of repetition in a collective of photos noticeable for their individuality.
Form- Each photograph has been taken from an above angle looking down onto the subjects. They have all been melted however have created patterns and produced a range of colours that all vary quite differently from one another. The lighting in the photo is extremely brightened, and therefore create for a sense of isolation as the reflection onto the white background gives off the perception that the surroundings are empty and void of any detail.
Process- Nolan has taken time to place meltable objects onto a plain background, wait for them to melt and therefore capture them in their natural stunning state. He hasn't shown the process but instead just the results intensifying their originality even further. However, I have decided as I am focusing on decay that I will show the process of them melting, hopefully chronicling the overall transformation. I will melt them onto a plain background and photograph them in a similar way that Nolan has once they are actually at a point where I can say that they have fully melted. I will also look at more than one object, i.e not just ice lollies but potentially big sums of chocolate etc. I will try and capture them from an above angle so that viewers can see the process in the clearest way possible, and use brighter forms of lighting to make each photo seem more impassioned.
