Victoria Ivanova

Many of Victoria Invanova's photos are clearly photoshoped, but they are still very strange and interesting. She takes inanimate objects and creates a scene or tells a story. I find this one engaging, since it appears as though the clothespins grow on trees and must gather each other down from the branches. The light striking against the back wall seems too obvious to me, too fake, and I think it would have stood out better with a purely dark background. The light does make your eyes move down to the focus of the image, the little clothespin climbing the ladder, but it creates a grainy effect on the stones.
