JD HANCOCK

JD Hancock is from Austin, Texas, USA. Professionally he builds on websites and apps for a living and photography is one of the things he does for fun. JD says his photography is "mostly of the slightly-giggle-worthy-pop-culture-reference variety".

The equipment JD uses is a Nikon D50 and Nikon Coolpix S50 point-and-shoot which he used in his earlier work. However, sometimes he'll use his iPhone. In addition to, he uses iPhoto for image management and post-processing and occasionally photoshop.

Swimming in the iPool

This photo is from JD's series called 'iPhoneland' which is a sub-series of his main series called 'Little Dudes'. In this series he uses an iPhone to set the background for his 'little dudes'. The idea for this photo came from the summer time and JD wondered how the 'little dudes' would spend their summer. This gave him the idea of using the iPhone as a swimming pool and it was the perfect scale to use with the miniature train figures.

This another photo from the series 'Little Dudes'. His description of this series is 'documenting the little dudes who live in my phone'. The colours and focus in this photo are extravagant because the red is really emphasised as well as the focus concentrating on the 'little dues' working. This photo actually makes it seem like these 'little dudes' are alive and moving as they're mining the artists strawberries that are in his home to most probably eat to survive in this human world.

The Anxious Type

This is another photo from the 'Little dudes' series. In this photo we can see one of the 'little dudes' sitting by himself on an old type writer. The figure is sitting on the letter K which I found out that it wasn't on purpose and has no meaning, the artist just randomly placed the miniature figure. I like the composition of the picture as you have the white circles for the letters and then the black of the type writer. In addition to, the green outfit that the 'little dude' is wearing really stands out, which creates a nice composition. Also, I like the angle of which the photo was taken where the type writer goes from the bottom right of the picture to the top left. 

Feel The Frame Friday

This photo is also from the 'Little dudes' series. In this photo we can see two of the miniature figures in the bottom left side of the image. They seem to be reaching one hand up each and feeling the frame, as the title clearly implies. This shows how small these 'Little dudes' are in this human world and is a good use of scale by the artist.
