Justin Quinnell

All of Justin's work is intriguing to me; in particular there are three that stand out to me because of the odd concepts and the creativity of using his mouth as a pin-hole camera.

The first is titled Shark-attack and I chose this piece because I found it amusing. When I first saw it I chuckled and thought of the reason why Justin chose to show a much fiercer animal through his mouth. I believe Justin decided to convey this because a shark's mouth is much more intimidating than his own and the comparison between the two is outstanding.

The second image I chose is titled Louis and I selected this one because the child is almost imitating his father's facial expression while looking terrified at the same time. I also find this piece to be humorous not only because of the child's face but of the position of the camera in this piece. You can see more of Justin's mouth and it almost looks like he's going to take a bite of his child. I find this interesting because of the content in this image and the strange concept behind Justin's inspiration.

This is the 3rd piece I chose because I was attracted to the brightness of what's in the bowl and again the position of the camera within the mouth. This piece in particular intrigues me because it looks like he can fit that whole bowl in his mouth.  This intrigues me because from the way I view this piece it looks as if it is taken from a giant's perspective.
























To process these images, Justin uses long-exposure photography which means he uses a long duration of time to capture his concepts. He uses colour film and black and white film to capture these Smile cam pictures.
