Moon Games

Moon Games is a lovely set of photographs by Laurent Lavender. The idea is a simple one, the photographer plays with the figure and the moon, much the photographs tourists take of themselves tipping over or holding up the leaning tower.

Each set of photographs tell a tale. A man plants the moon, or children at play pass the moon much like a volley ball to each other. In many of the photos the figure is a silhouette (and if you were in my body shots group you’d know that I’m a sucker for silhoettes). I feel that the set titled Moon Games (where the figure is cutting the moon with scissors or catching it with a net) worked the best out of the series as the dark contrast of the figure and ground against the blue sky and moon was the most visually striking.
