After being given our concept word: layering, I decided to do some research using my own collection of books. I looked at:
- Nick Knight published by Collins Design
- Tim Walker Pictures published by teNeues
- Vivienne Westwood by Claire Wilcox
- Alexander McQueen Genius of a Generation by Kristin Knox
I really like the image below by Nick Knight because of his use of colour; keeping all the leaves within the colour palette of pale blue gives a glass/translucent look to the leaves adding to the delicacy and fragility of them
Cecropia schreberiana, Flora,
Natural History Museum, Nick Knight 1997
Miranda Vincente, One in Ten,
Dazed & Confused, Nick Knight 2000
Lily Cole, Page from scrapbook
'Lily Takes a Trip', Tim Walker 2005
I like how layering has been used in the photo below by Tim Walker because of how he has taken an everyday object (the mattress) and multiplied it to look ridiculous and unnecessary. I also like the child-like theory to it in the way that it's something a child wouldn't consider to be ridiculous or unnecessary

I really like the idea of using a layer to conceal something or make it more elusive and mysterious, like below; wrapping the house in a huge bow makes it seem more special and intriguing. Also the way the door is ajar makes it look inviting, you find yourself wondering about what's held inside
