Shooting this project forced me to approach everything as I see as normal, differently. I had to expand the view of my surroundings and search through anything and everything in order to find objects that represented a letter from my full name. 12 letters. That's all I needed. Simple enough, right? It was soon proven otherwise. I searched far and wide for the best letters I could find, and yet still caught myself struggling to see the handle of a pencil sharpener as an upper case "L" or shooting a light switch to be a lower case "r". I became slightly obsessed with analysing the objects and settings around me, constantly searching for a sudden "ah-HA" moment that would hurdle my creativity into overdrive. What I did discover through this project is that it takes time to be able to effectively pick out the shadows, shapes, patterns and angles that cause every day objects to be pictured into something different.
