Macro wax photographs

These images were originally an offspring of my MA film Videotron but became artworks in their own right. They are purposefully-taken photos (rather than screenshots) of wax dripped onto circuit boards; you can see the original film below. I wanted to create abstract, painterly images irrespective of the fact they are photographs of sculptures.

All these images were taken with a D-SLR and either a macro or standard 18-55mm lens and basic colour attritubtes only edited in Photoshop. I shot them in a small studio and lit the works myself.

Final MA film Videotron

Videotron is a short film delving into the secrets of our electrical objects. Using time lapse and stop-motion techniques, the film asks us to consider our trusted inanimate things becoming conscious and procreative, propelling us into a landscape of resistors, LEDs and potentiometers until our sense of scale is disabled.
