Fine Art nominee

Conceptualizing an image from above is one of the greatest challenges in drone photography. This is a photo of my daughter in strife with a shopping cart, her dress, hair and legs giving the impression of motion. It was pointed out to me after the shoot that Banksy had a similar image on a wall that we had no knowledge of, which gave life to the street art and gave us a little creative boost. Shopping Cart-astrophe pays homage to the everyday ordinariness of a person’s life becoming extraordinary.
