Overview

One setup, thirty objects

Atlas makes objects that are easy to overlook, so the direction was to remove every variable except the object itself. One backdrop, one lens, one exposure, held for the full shoot.

The flatness is the point. Placed side by side in the catalogue the objects begin to describe each other, and the small differences in proportion do the work that styling usually does.
