I am currently working on an interesting project: I'm walking around the rural areas near different cities and making photographs of  spontaneously emerged small dumps. I prefer to call them Dumpscapes. There are many, by the way. What is my purpose one might ask?  In such kind of places I like to be a witness of various human lives. Rather fragmented parts of lives which were rejected by the owners, all of sudden or once upon a time. I'm collecting the Forgotten Past of unknown people by documenting dumped  trash in the fields, forests, river banks and mountains.  So, here is a shot from my favourite series of Dumped Dead Dolls, which I've started a year ago. Here is a question about coloristic post - production of the RAW files of the series. On the one hand I want to preserve a true effect of a documental photography, but on the other hand I have an evident necessity of using a "toy camera"- like preset with strong vingnetting for better feeling of presence.
