Assignment #20: Surreal

Real is happening and looks possible but surreal is like a dream, where everything looks real even though it may be bizarre to look real.
When someone says, "That's so surreal," they are saying that something looks or feels real even though it is strange to be real. For example, in my dreams I may see a giant mouse or a tiny lion which are surreal because in my mind they seem real but it makes no sense for them to be real.
Image result for Anka Zhuravleva
This photo was taken by Anka Zhuravleva. I like her use of levitation in her photographs and the subtle look of it all.

This photo was taken by Joel Robison. I really like how his images compare shapes and sizes within them.

I was inspired by Joel Robison's work to capture a surreal photo comparing shapes and sizes. In this photo, I achieved this concept by using distance to make it appear as though one of the girls is either very tiny or the other girl is very large.

  1. un idea but again, the focus in the image isn't working with the concept. Can you reshoot so the figure in the back is in focus, please?
