William Eggleston, Tricycle, Memphis 1969-71
In comparison to the photography by Laura Letinsky, this still-life photograph has a clear visual hierarchy creating the impression that the viewer is looking uo and the tricycle, giving it a more herioc symbol. Also the setting gives the scene a more urban vibe rather than Laura's photographs which are more studio based with a white background. William Eggleston choice this still-life as part of a them of putting something uncommon in a common place - something intresting to think about when doing my own still-life. The photography particularly caught my eye as it's in colour, which is what my still-life also needs to be on so with further research into the photograph hopefully can build up more ideas of my final image.
