Project 66: Juxtaposition

This project has a simple aim - to use juxtaposition to make a photograph interesting and suggest a connection between two things - in this case a person and his hobby (birdwatching, so binoculars). I chose to use a very wide angle lens and posed my subject with his hands more outstretched than would be usual for bringing the lenses up to the face for use. However this meant that the binoculars were larger in the photo and thus more prominent. This adds drama to the photo and I think it works really well.
