My goal for the Transforming Materials project was to photograph mundane materials, not in a form that is familiar from everyday life. The goal was not to hide the material within the photo (in fact, they feature most prominently in many of my photos), but merely to appreciate the materials for their qualities and not for their intended uses. I found the best results with tin foil. I experimented with parchment paper as well, but under the time constraints I found it harder to manipulate with the subtlety required. Four photos of tin foil transformed are shown here.
