Tim Macpherson

'Tim has been exploring some interesting avenues in the world of compilation photography. Choosing the particularly contemporary theme of children and (un)healthy eating, he has shot a range of pictures which juxtapose a clean innocent and attractive background, with a potentially troubling foreground. Could weathered off days be a thing of the past?!'

Here is a photographer where digital post production is crucial in many of his images. In this series of photographs showing children indulging in bad food, he has placed the children onto different backgrounds, for a greater effect on the viewer.
To me, this project could be seen not only as a shock to all how the children of today are eating, but possibly as starting the debate of body issues and size zero even younger. I wish to focus more on self image and body issues as i research more into the project.
