I shot this last week for the Cardboard Jungle Podcast and they are now using it on their website!
Basically they came to me with the idea of shooting a city skyline made out of boxes. I did a test run at home using a card table and a bunch of games, and then I went to the beach and shot the photo there.
In post I mirrored the image because it wasn’t the right dimensions for their masthead and I added the moon (which is one of my own photos) because they were worried that the night sky was too starry. The space at the bottom was left open for their logo and for wiggle room in getting it to be the right size for their website.
All in all I’m happy with how it turned out. It was a very different exercise from the kind of work I usually do for a client.

I love it. If you look close at the central box it looks like there is a heart made of stars coming out the top. Was this on purpose or a happy coincidence?
Originally no it wasn't there on purpose. However when I mirrored the photo I saw that it was star-like and so I blacked out a few stars in the middle to help it stand out more. It was something small I did more for myself that I didn't expect anyone to notice… but I guess you did!
