“Eventually everything connects – people, ideas, objects.” – Charles Eames
The Cambridge dictionary lists these (amongst others) as synonyms for strings attached: boundary, condition, glass ceiling, limited, restricted. All of which seem to imply a negative connotation, but what if strings attached could be seen in a positive light, even beautiful. What if we instead used words like connected or entwined, to convey a deeper sense of connection between objects.
Either definition could be used to inspire a thought-provoking photo shoot.
Definitions aside strings attached could be used purely to create an aesthetically pleasing image, as demonstrated by these examples:
I started my photography journey almost 2 years to the date! 24th of September 2016 was the first time I picked up a DSLR camera and attended my first workshop which included ‘how to turn your camera on’! Prior to that I had just been using my iphone to take pictures of my family or various events I attended, but nothing with intention behind it. My journey with photography wasn’t a life long passion but more ‘love at first sight’.
