In the 90's, there was this toy you got to mold your face, hands, anything you wanted to with a bunch of pins, and it was pretty cool. Now those pins look like a low res image, with both details and color lost to a series of relief pins... only what if you added back the color, and the resolution through off camera lights, and turned a basic toy into a photographic sculpture? The idea of this project is to allow students to use an AmazonBasics Electronic Flash for DSLR Cameras and PowerTRC Novelty Pin Point Impressions Metal Pin Art toy to not only create interesting sculptures (molded elements) but to add elements of studio/product photography to help create a photograph of the toy that is more than just the temporary mold it can create. The toy itself becomes the key element, but the off camera flashes allow the students to add visual interest, shape the 3-D effects, add color, and ultimately create a product photo that is more interesting than either the toy or whatever was molded could be.
