My first shoot will be situated in two places: Victoria Avenue Beach and People’s Park. I chose these places to start as they are not the most beautiful places in Jersey, however i can make them look pretty using angles and colours. These places will be my experiment areas but if they turn out well then i will use them in my project.

I will be doing this shoot on Sunday Afternoon (19th March), I will be using my my friend Hannah as a model and she will be wearing normal clothes to make the photo seem as normal as possible. The first image will be in colour and it will be vivid. The second image will be the same pose and environment but she will be wearing a mouth and nose mask similar to the ones the Chinese wear during days of dangerous levels of pollution.

The second photo will be in black and white but it will be soft greys more than sharp and dark black and white. This is to mimic the effects of Smog which can be seen above. The third photo will be the same pose and environment again but this time, my model will be wearing a full face gas mask which has been lent to me by a friend and this time the image will be a very dark black and white, with high contrast and sharp focus.

Victoria Avenue:

• The model will be sat on rocks or leaning against the sea wall or rocks, this is to make it seem less staged.
• I will be using my Nikon D3200 and i will adjust the settings to suit the environment each time.
• The model will be wearing her normal clothes but the masks will change.
• I will edit the photos in Lightroom or Photoshop after the shoot.
• I may also try shoot the second and third images in black and white directly then adjust them in Photoshop.
• I am hoping that the weather will either be sunny and cloudy, preferably both as it will give me different atmospheres for my photos.
• If it is raining, i will use this to my advantage and make my model seem like she is raining to try get away from Acid Rain.
• I will place her as close to the water as possible as water always seems to make photos much more interesting.

People’s Park:

• I will position my model most likely on benches or on the hills, i may also make some eery photos using the playground, this will add variation to my work.
• I will be using my Nikon D3200 and i will have to change the settings due to the different colours and lighting.
• I do not think that this will be as interesting as the shoot from Victoria Avenue as i do not think that the environment is as interesting because it is ever changing.
• I think i will do this shoot first as practice and if i do get some images i like i will keep them.

New idea:

I think i will also take some images of my model just simply in the gas mask and only photograph the head and shoulders against the sky. I will then Photoshop Smog into the background to make it similar to a photograph taken by Alex Hofford of an activist protesting against the high levels of pollution in Hong Kong.
