Origami – the art of paper folding, this comes from the Japanese culture, Ori means (folding) and Gami is (paper). This paper art is a specialist art and there has been some amazing work which has been taken to new levels, this art has been made in different ways to produce different types of origami, as the found object brief only allowed me to get gifts from people this is the work that I decided to use.

So my idea for the photography came from my interest in light, I feel like light it is a cool thing to play with and you can create very different images using light. I first saw this idea first on Facebook where there was a post with a way of creating something so interesting from something so simple. I found that there is a lot of people who have shared this same article and it has made me intrigued to what has actually been done to make this possible. This is a simple use of long exposure and the use of reflective foil and a white gold light/an old style lamp.  I had 6 different origami pieces which were of different sizes but I feel like these fit together well and have similar lighting and shadowing. overall the clarity and the blurring within these images i feel are the reason for the successful outcome of these images.
