Photo365 – Day 336 – Paper cuts

A sheet of A 4 paper cut into five strips and placed on top of another and lit from above left. It’s a bit of an optical illusion. No paper was folded. Each of the five strips were taped at one end and placed on their edge so they were about 1.5in high. Some didn’t touch the base all the way along so let light through underneath. This created subtle tonal changes and the effect you see here.

Photo365 – Day 293 – Paper Men

A cut out of matchstick men from paper and placed on an acrylic sheet with a light pointing up from below to illuminate them. Taken with Olympus E-P2 and 14-42mm lens in Art mode and grainy black & white setting.
