Slinkachu, an anonymous street artist based in the UK, works on a photography project called the 'Mini People' which started in 2006. He uses miniature train set characters for his work and then places the characters around different areas and creates little scenes which have a meaningful story behind them; he creates scenes which a lot of people would be able to relate to . Slinkachu leaves the mini people on the streets after he has taken pictures of them, he does this so that people are able to emphasize his work.

My Thoughts On Slinkachu's Photographs:
In my opinion the picture to the left is a very creative idea. This picture shows a persons car getting wrecked. I like how Slinkachu used a lollipop which may be symbolizing a wrecking ball smashing the car. I also like the way he did it in an environment which looks as if no one would be able to come help which shows us as to why the mini character is stressed as he is stood with his hands on his head. Slinkachu has used a viewpoint which directly attracts the viewer into the direction of the objects in the photograph.
This is a photograph taken by Slinkachu. It's one of my favorite picture by Slinkachu because of his use of depth of field,he shows clearly what the focal point is as he blurred out the background. He set the character using the rule of thirds.
This is another favorite of mine,taken by Slinkachu because it is relatable. I like the way Slinkachu chose to keep a very neutral colored background which allows the person viewing the image to focus more on the mini character. I like the creativity of Slinkachu making his own cash machine prop.
My Opinion On Slinkachu's Work.
In my opinion, Slinkachu's work is very unique and creative. Slinkachu's work is very original and it also achieves the effect Slinkachu wants his work to have on people. Slinkachu is also able to inspire people to reproduce more creative work just like his.

My Work Inspired By Slinkachu:
Photoshoot 1:
This is my first photoshoot inspired by Slinkachu. I was unable to achieve the story I was trying to get across. It was my first photoshoot and I had a hard time trying not to have camerashake.
Worst Photograph:
I have chosen this as my worst picture because I failed in setting the exposure right, and you can't see the picture properly.
Best Photograph:
This was a good photograph that I had taken throughout this photoshoot. I was able to have the focal point correct and set the depth of field right.
