More images and feedback

Here are some more images that I've created in the same series of 'becoming-domesticated' and 'becoming-wild'.

Here's one showing the creature making a nest out of all things human.
And here are three more images from the park sessions. I experimented with other people as well, so the first one is with Victor. For some reason it seems that all the outdoor animals become monkeys. I'm not entirely happy with the lighting conditions. On all the days it was very sunny and beautiful, which is a nightmare for this project. If I want to use these image sin the final show, I will have to go an re-photograph them on a cloudy day. London is not what it used to be. It's sunny almost every day now!
Feedback from this week's seminar:
I explained the two sets of images as different yet connected in the meaning. Some saw it as a narrative. An animal is indoors, at home and then gets out and goes to explore the world. I should explore that more and shoot in different locations like the tube or the bus or the street to show the creature in an "unfamiliar" situation. I guess it's something to think about. Personally I still think of these images as two different avenues to take.

Apparently, I've reached a new starting point and the project should take another big leap now towards something new. They are really pushing this development agenda. At the same time I am thinking of going back to the animated portrait, but use a better image for that.
