Really interesting theme. Looking forward to seeing all of these. Can I ask why the choice to take the images from that angle? I really like it - everyone looking down, just wondering if it has any more symbolism rather than just having the advantage of a nice blue background?

@Nicole: Thanks, Nicole. I decided to take it from that angle because originally I was creating a set of images to exhibit in an environmental exhibition with the theme 'Air' ... so it made sense to have only air (sky) and the person with the face mask. The looking down angle also makes the subjects seem omnipotent, divine or larger than life - making the messages they bring seem more important and authoritative. Like there is no choice but to listen to them.
