Elf Forest
Troll patrol
Photo 1 was taken on the 16th of September
2015 in Place Delille near the Town Hall. We took it at this angle to highlight the contrast between Nature
and the man-made thing: the lift. We can see different
levels: the houses, the green hills, and the blue sky. The plants on the lift
make a link between natural elements and the lift, symbolizing technology.
We, the photographers, didn't really know each other
so we got acquainted during our assignment. We ate together and then went to take the
photos. We were pleased to get to know each other. It was a sunny afternoon but
there was a lot of wind so it was a little bit cold. There were some clouds in
the sky; we see them in the photo.
On the right side is the blue sky with some
clouds, then the green hills in the middle, and the houses at the bottom. On the
left, there is a lift on which there are plants and flowers. This photo shows a
beautiful and quiet place; there is a happy atmosphere. This place is the one in
which fairies and elves live… The lift represents their house. They have been
living there in peace for several years now. We have called this place "Elf
Forest" as it is the best place for them because it fits so harmoniously into the natural environment.
The sight of Clermont made us feel like being a bit up in Heaven with the blue sky; it gave us feelings of peace and
happiness. It made us forget all our problems.
This photo shows the urbanisation of Clermont-Ferrand.
We can see that houses are being built up on the hills. This photo is divided
in two: on the right is blue sky and
beautiful hills, and, on the left, a lift made of metal and other artificial
materials representing human activity.
Photo 2 was taken in the “Rue du port”. It is in portrait format
in order to show the street behind, where an elf is walking past… On the left of the
photograph, there is a wall with a poster of a troll. He is
patrolling the streets to take control of the fairies and the elves! He is the
one who has invented the technology which is slowly taking control of the elves
and the fairies all over the city by locking them up them in their own houses…
On the right, the light of the sun is reflected on the front of the apartments;
this is a symbol of hope for the elves...
When we took the photo we were pleased and
completely relaxed but also concentrated on taking a good picture. The street has interesting elements and details worth photographing.
We gave this title to the picture because the
poster is a real troll, and in the darkness of the corner he seemed to spy on the
street to find people to persecute… The poster was for a Rock ‘n’ roll concert but
the paper looked really old so it was probably a long time ago.
Our pictures are a good representation of the
urban environment. They show us the places where elves and fairies live but also hint at the threat to their social and physical environment.
Our beautiful fairy-tale world, close to Nature, is being
threatened by the monsters of technology…
