Welcome back to the ongoing journey of 52 Frames, where each week brings a new challenge to hone our photography skills. In Week 6, the theme “Shoot from Above” prompted photographers to explore unique perspectives and angles from above the subject, pushing the boundaries of creativity.
For this week’s challenge, I embarked on a magical journey inspired by the enchanting world of Harry Potter. Instead of traditional photography subjects, I decided to delve into the realm of flat lays.
The art of flat lays involves arranging and photographing objects from a top-down perspective. This style allows for intricate storytelling and composition, making it an ideal choice for a Harry Potter-themed exploration. From wands and potions to spellbooks and magical artifacts, every element contributed to the creation of captivating images.
However, week 6 of 52 Frames taught me that sometimes, true creativity emerges when we step outside the proverbial box.
My submission image:
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, a weathered pipe, once cradled by my dad’s contemplative hands, now breathes whispers of memory. Beside it, dried hydrangeas from my grandma’s garden unfold their petals like delicate time-travelers. Against a velvety black background, a wistful puff of smoke swirls, carrying with it the aromatic tales of shared laughter and quiet reflections. In a whimsical fusion of artifacts and flora, the photograph becomes a magical portal, inviting us to stroll through the fragrant garden of cherished memories, where each bloom and curl of smoke whispers stories only the heart can truly comprehend.
