Collected photographs

During the summer, I spent most of my time visiting various places such as Coombe Abbey, Kingsbury Water Park and Bosworth Water park. I also spent most of my time in a small village which is surrounded by fields and forests. I took advantage of this as the scenery around me could be exaggerated in a photograph to look larger than life, or for the person who is viewing the image feel smaller than life. I began taking pictures of the area around me and began manipulating the proportion of what's seen in the image to show a contrast of size. 
If I lay the camera on the floor, objects such as grass look larger than they do from eye level. 
Taking pictures from floor level makes an illusion of feeling smaller than life. It also exaggerates the insignificance of man-kind using scale.
