My project is based on childhood memories and the absence and loss of childhood objects and the memories we lose as we grow up (not playing with our childhood toys and abandoning them without realising)
There is a sence of beautiful nostalgia within the toys and objects from our childhood, A memory of childhood that fades as we grow, A distant memory that had been beautiful.
Now there is a sadness as the toys and objects are not being played with anymore and are left to detereorate.......there is a discomfort and errieness about it....
(original photographs shoot 1 & 2)
The toys have been abandoned by the children that once played with them.
My photographys have been taken at night to exagerate the sadness the toys might feel (if they could feel ) when abandoned by the children and also because the darkness creates a sence of absence and loss of childhood innocence from an adults (my) point of view.

i will photoshop some of these images slightly to manipulate and experiment with the dark and light elements within some of my photographs.
