Looking at the work that I have created too far, I am happy with the individual images, the compositions of the images, the quality, the different techniques used , attention to detail. But looking at the overall collections of the images I dont feel that I have an overarching theme to the images and if I were to start making a book down there would be no structure. At the start of this project I wanes to focus on my relationship between myself and this island that I have livecd on for 18 years and trying to look at it a different light. But that I feel that is necessary to change the focus of the project as I don’t think that this message was coming through in the images and it is a very hard concept to translate into a book form.

So I have decided that I a going to change the focus of the book to look at the four elements that hold the world together. Water, Earth,Fire and Air. As when reviewing images I realised that I have subconsciously taken images that focus on Water, Air and Earth already. The only element that I don’t have an images of is Fire, which is because there is not a continual sources of fire, but in my house we do have a coal fire that I will use. Below are the best images that I already have of each element. Looking at these images in future photoshoots I want to focus on photographing the different textures in each element and how they differentiate from one another. And the variety in each element.,

Water

Earth

Air
