Shoot 1: Trees

My first Variation and Similarity photo-shoot will be based around the typology of trees. I will experiment with presenting my images in a grid format in the style of Bernd and Hilla Becher. As I am looking at the variations and similarities within the landscapes around me, and zooming in close on the environment, trees are a good subject as they show diversity within their origin, patterns of bark, size, form etc.

Shoot 2: Flowers / Leaves

My second shoot will aim to capture the variety of leaves and flowers within nature’s woodland and coastline. This shoot will focus on the variation aspect of my project and highlight the range of natural objects and the sublime beauty they hold. I will photograph the vibrant, summer leaves and flowers and the contrasting duller autumnal leaves to highlight the different products of seasons.

Shoot 3: Clouds

Clouds are an interesting topic of the natural world as they show such diversity depending on the given weather. I will hope to capture images of the sky during storm, rainy weather and juxtapose these photographs with ones taken at calmer, serene times.

Shoot 4: Water

For my 4th shoot, I will look at water; the forms, patterns and colours. I will edit a number of my photographs in the style of Hiroshi Sugimoto in black and white, exploring a deeper conceptual meaning behind water and the spiritual notions behind his work. Places I will visit will include St Ouen’s bay and Plemont.
