Accumulation: an overhead flat lay AI photoshoot

Straight down from a crane, the camera finds the subject lying in a pile of hundreds of acid-yellow objects, dressed in the same yellow. Skin, hair and eyes are the only parts of this overhead flat lay portrait in another color.

Six frames from this shoot

Five frames and one detail, made by haloshot from three phone photos of one person.

About the one-color pile look

Mounted on a boom, a 24 mm lens points straight down from about three meters, perfectly perpendicular. One hard light from directly above sits beside it, with fill, so small crisp shadows separate the objects and every surface reads. At f/11 and 1/200 s the whole pile is in focus. Nowhere in the frame is there empty floor.

Clothes, place and when to pick it

Rubber gloves, plastic buckets, tennis balls, tangled cables, lemons and rain boots make up the pile. The outfit matches: an oversized acid-yellow nylon tracksuit, yellow dishwashing gloves and yellow-tinted sport sunglasses pushed up on the hair. Your face breaks the yellow. Great for a bold Instagram grid, a poster or a campaign-style profile header.
