Тайная жизнь улиток и лягушек в сюрреалистичном мире инстаграма

Американские фотохудожники Алея Муравски и Сэм Коупленд творят в не самом очевидном жанре: они создают миниатюрные интерьеры и пейзажи, куда помещают улиток и лягушек — в итоге получаются сюрреалистичные снимки о тайной жизни питомцев в интерьерах, пропитанных ностальгией по девяностым.

Чтобы заинтересовать своих моделей процессом съёмки, Алея располагает в нужных местах микроскопические кусочки огурца или другого лакомства. “Сытая улитка гораздо лучше смотрится в кадре, – считает фотохудожница, – она как будто светиться”.

Hey, This is Another Note to Myself, to Stop Getting In My Head and Worrying About What Something Looks Like, And Give Into the Process of Making Something. It Has Always Been Something That Made You Feel Good, Sad, Confused, So This is Really No Different. Stop Trying To Control These Steps. You Have Made Things In The Past That You're Proud of, And You Will Continue to Surprise Yourself. Every Time You Stop Yourself From Making Something Because You Think It Is Not Good Enough, You Become More of a Stranger to Yourself. Get To That Place Where You Make Something Small, And Then the Next. Keep Following Your Little Creative Gut Out Of Things. Open It Up When You Want To And When You Don't, Savor This Secret Ugly Mess Because There is Something Beautiful Brewing In Here Just Waiting To Come Out ??
