新型コロナで自宅に閉じ込められたトラベルフォトライターが新たな世界を発見してしまったようです。詳細は以下から。
世界各地で行われている新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックに伴うロックダウン。そんな中で、トラベルフォトライターという世界を飛び回ることを仕事にしてきたErin Sullivanさんも自宅での隔離を余儀なくされました。
そんなSullivanさんは冷蔵庫の中にある食材とミニチュアなどを使い、美しくも怪しい「異世界」の写真シリーズを撮影しました。
自由な旅への憧れ、目の前の小さな食材の造形への驚き、隔離された中でのSullivanさんの気持ちがぎゅっと詰め込まれた作品がずらりと並びます。
Thanks a ton for all the recommendations in my stories on where I should visit next! 😂 I thought I’d make the first stop Spaghetti Swamp. There are lots of winding channels to paddle through here. Weird place. ✧ I know that many of you are photographers, or are interested in photography. And I want you to know that there is so much to learn and discover every day, in the most seemingly mundane things. Let’s take the work of someone you consider to be a photography legend. Look at their work, and see the way they have studied their subject in order to capture it. Disregard what the actual subject is, that’s arbitrary. Look at the way the light travels across the surface, the treatment of color, the specific textures, the contrast and attention to detail. It is possible (MORE than possible!) to pay this kind of attention to your everyday, not just the things you would consider to be spectacular or extraordinary. You may find that your everyday is just that. Truly SEEing is the important part. ✧ Image created with model train figures, tin foil, and an outrageous amount of spaghetti that I will be eating for the next week at least. 🍝 ✧ #ErinsGreatIndoors #OurGreatIndoors

Would ya look at that? It’s an Instagram rest area among the watermelon. Stay as long as you’d like. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, allow yourself to be transported, if only for a moment. 🍉 ✧ One of the lessons that I am continually learning is that I don’t have to “do” all the time. I have to remind myself often that the rest–– the doing nothing, the long quiet afternoon, the aimless walk–– these are instrumental to understanding myself, and therefore to fulfilling my purpose here on Earth. For a long time I thought I needed permission to experience restfulness. There wasn’t enough time for a pause. Now I know nothing more crucial than that. 💗 ✧ This set is a study for a record jacket I am doing for @vinylmoonco. People ask about the process. I sketch it out, then I work with the materials. In this case, I’d cut the watermelon, stare at the watermelon, move the watermelon… and repeat... until I arrive at something I like. ✧ #ErinsGreatIndoors #OurGreatIndoors

これ以外の作品はInstagramのアカウントから閲覧可能。Sullivanは新型コロナが終息した後も新たな可能性としてこのシリーズを続けていくつもりとのことです。
