3D craft and lens development

For the 3D lens and craft project I struggled initially to come up with a concept based upon 'mutant powers', as I was unable to decide how to use 3D items to depict super powers. I quickly decided I wanted to use paper to construct the items, as I felt I would be able to clearly use bold and strong shapes to create easily recognisable products. After some brief research, I decided that I wanted to focus on 3D vegetables and fruit, as I felt the way I could craft these and strike a comparison between the real and paper versions would offer a refreshing juxtaposition.

What I like:
- Composition of items, think it really shows the best angles of each piece
- How lighting is mirrored in both images
- I like how the final pieces are simple yet show the complexity of their form
- Composition within frame, quite like how it's an informal setting which really links to the context of the pieces

What I don't like:
- Placement of paper to real versions is not very crisp
- Edges of orange are not smooth enough
- Leaves on Carrot could be slightly more complex
- Static image doesn't show process of my 'mutant power'

What I will do next:
- Think about how to show change from paper to real- maybe use a GIF?
- Ensure devices used to maintain the positions are not visible
- Practice putting myself into the photographs
- Make sure placement of items is precise when swapping
