Upon reviewing Franco Fontana's work in landscapes, I had envisioned rolling green hills as a new setting for the shelf. However they needed to be smaller in scale as usual/natural hills are, so not to drown out the shelf in sheer scale (it would be too small in a photograph). I remembered an image in my mind from an old school trip, where old Iron Age hill forts had manipulated the land for defence and the land was left as it was - strange hill formations. A perfect strange setting for my next trip.

Franco Fontana's landscape images were beautifully yet simply composed, to the bone of compositional meaning - line, shape and form. It is how I had envisioned these images prior to overlooking Fontana's work, but it is also the sense of scale that I can see within his work and my own here. He used trees, which worked but also confused as a sense of scale, the audience asking themselves how big the tree actually may be. These images below, the red shelf is the scale. But again, it is simply a red, rectangular shape within the frame. The photograph becomes a handful of shapes/blocks of colour. We can see the green mass is grass and we can work out the grey is sky, but at a glance it is geometric. 

Still continuing to photograph my partner throughout the trips. These images are on a grander scale, the landscape is mammoth over both the shelf and the human form in frame.
