I had a still life brief as part of my assessment to create a still life piece that could be used commercially. I began to look at Vanitas Still Life that began centuries ago and has been used in different ways ever since. Vanitas, means vanity and I knew for a fact Vanity is one of the seven deadly sins - something else that has been used commercially for years on end. So I decided to rein-act the seven deadly sins with Toy Story characters because they are well known, and I wanted to give my project some humour. I decided to use the toys for a campaign for keeping children young, as I know many people are shocked at the way children act these days. I hate to see and eleven year old girl acting and dressing like she's twenty three, because my early childhood was amazing, and I don't think that anyone should miss out on that. These are the photographs I ended up with. I had to try and make them both humorous and quirky so it did appear a challenge at times! I do think that some of my ideas worked better than others, in my opinion the strongest images are for Lust, Sloth, Anger and Gluttony; but I think it's just a matter of opinion and what different people find funny, but overall I'm pleased with my outcome.
Anger
Envy
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
Vanity/Pride
