Biography
The simplest way to describe Slinkachu is as a London-based artist who creates very small street-based installations and then photographs them: from far away and up-close. Slinkachu is one of my favorite photographer because of his creativity and his mind blowing ideas like when he makes an island with a tennis ball and a palm tree in a puddle. He lives in London. He started 'The Little People' project in 2006, it involves remodeling and painting the characters, which he place on the streets of London and leave it.The Little People Project' started in 2006.It is both a street art installation project and a photography project.Which he then photographed and then left on the streets this symbol is of his meany trade mark signature. He creates a story with his pictures after he has taken a photograph he leaves his models on the streets and sees how people interact with it.
I really like Slinkachu's work, I find it breathtaking. It is extremely original and creative, I will enjoy trying to reproduce photographs in this style.

BIG BAD CITY.
My favorite photograph that Slinkachu has produced is the main photograph on the side. I love the fact that Slinkachu has used Big Ben and has used figures which is pointing at the building like a tourist. He has used a medium depth of field and has set the focus point on the figures, as the background is out of focus which I think is really effective. Slinkachu has . This image shows a family visiting London.
Another example of Slinkachu's artwork, the scene is still expressing that; In a busy city sometimes we miss the things we enjoy. The tennis ball with palm tree in it, also coupled with the city-space in the background, I like this picture because it expresses depth of field, while the tennis ball is placed on a power spot attracting your eye to that section while the bright green stands out on the duller grey buildings, while the reflection gives the picture a surreal look using the water as a mirror.

My Weakest Slinkachu Photography
These are my weakest photography because the focus point wasn't placed on the right place.
My best slinkachu pictures...
Analysed photographs
These are my two strongest slinkachu photographs because, both pictures are set in a scene of breaking down rocks/diamonds. Both figures are themed to show, how hard it is to break the rocks and how stressful it is.
Emotion in the photographs shows: in the first picture it shows, hard work & stress and in the second one it shows pleasure & calm.
Even better if it had small depth of field (f/5.6)

My final piece...
This is my strongest photograph because, the focus point was placed right on the figure, it has a medium depth of field, but on the other hand, if I've put little rock pieces next to the figure it would actually look like the man is drilling down the rocks and it would be more successful image than it is now.

edited on photoshop black and white/brightness
Here I have changed the brightness and contrast of the colour and changed the same image to black and white. To see how the photographs would look with these changes, I feel that the black and white photographs create more of an scary atmosphere. Some people have said that the photographs remind them of the film Alfred Hitchcock. I feel that the shoot was successful as I have captured the shadow of the bird well and it looks huge compared to the figures
