Cristina Ara challenges the perspective of still life photography by photographing every day objects, sometimes in the usual place, sometimes against a white background like the image I have shown as an example of her work. In all her images of this project she photographs the still life objects just on their own and makes boring objects look interesting, as well as challenging the perspectives by creating one half of the image darker than the other and splitting it directly down the middle. What I find interesting about this set of images is how she makes these object seem more interesting and she has used the same techniques throughout to create a project of images all related to each other. I could use inspiration from this by creating similar images and trying to photograph boring every day objects and making them more interesting somehow.

Harold Edgerton challenges the perspective of still life photography by photographing still life objects in the process of having a bullet shot through them. He created a series of images where he places objects against a background and shoots these images using a fast shutter speed to capture the bullet going through the object and shows the impact the bullet has on the object, like the example I have shown of the bullet going through the playing card and shows the impact, how the card has broke and parts of it have been torn into small pieces and the top and bottom half of the card that is left has folded over, which is what I find interesting about this photographer and his work. I could take inspiration from this by showing the impact that maybe different objects can have on each other by throwing one object through another, seeing whether it would give an impact or not and if so showing what happens.
