‘Key Art’ by Stanislav Aristov proves that all you need is a little imagination

Now and again creative photographers keep on proving us that a stunning picture does not really require high technology but just a spark of imagination. The 36-year-old photographer, Stanislav Aristov has applied the same rule to come up with some very quirky images.

Aristov toys with keys and chalks to bring a breath of fresh air into the lifeless mundane objects. He came up with this unique idea by taking inspiration from the Russian sci-fi novel, Spectrum. The novel was based on a fictional civilization of Key Masters hence the artist chose keys as his subject for the photography.

The imaginative photographer collected all kinds of keys from family and friends as well as from local charity shops. The keys were then portrayed in a variety of ways ranging from rain drops in one image to a key-eyed crab in another.

The artist believes that even the simplest of the objects can help in changing the perception about the world and if you do not buy this statement then the images he creates will definitely make you think twice.
