For this project, I have been inspired by the article (that was sent to us), “Photographer Creates Lifelike Images of American Streets Using Toy Car Models and Forced Perspective” and Dutch artist,  Johannes Vermeer.

The article introduced the photographer and his works. Perspective was definitely a key factor in creating his work. I love the idea that, which is something I would truly enjoy experimenting with.

As for the Dutch painter of Johannes Vermeer, his sense of lighting in his work is definitely a combination of Rembrandt Lighting and a range of lighting ratios. Vermeer was an artists I was introduced in Fundamentals in 2D  Design. My professor introduced his work by exploring the numerous lines and the values of light he used in his work.

For this project, I would definitely like to play around with the lighting creating different situations. I would like to use Vermeer’s lighting situations and creatively use perspective to my advantage through portraits shots or setups of inanimate objects.
