I knew of a place that would make for an interesting "plinth" - Salcey Forest walkway. The corridor decking is a beautiful walkway in the treetops and makes for a surreal setting - something I personally haven't seen much of elsewhere.
Again, the colour continues to contrast charmingly against the background. Neutral tones of wood and tree branches against this bold, primary (man-made) red.
The shelf here acts almost as a divide between halves of the frame, perhaps I could use it as a complete divide in a future shoot?
Still photographing close and further away, they have different impacts depending on the composition. The closer I shoot, the more the shelf should be used as a tool for composition (e.g - splitting the frame, used to compliment the forms that surround it), and the further away it is it simply is used as a sculptural form within the frame.
Taking note from a previous shoot (on the beach), I remembered the shelf needn't always be upright to create a curious photograph. Here it's acting almost as a gate, blockage? The use of the object now completely changes, not only just some sculptural object in juxtaposed setting. Now it is not only that, but use for something else.
Another image of my partner, here making sure the object is stable before shooting. His stature is fairly ominous in this image, looming over the unit. I must admit it does look a tad cliche, but it still works.
Further away I think our eyes are too transfixed on the walls rather than the red shelf here, the above image works better - being more balanced.
