This blog post shows my photo-shoot in which I planned to visit Jersey zoo to photograph the butterflies in the new enclosure. This is because through my research I found that butterflies were a commonly feature element of the artwork which I was looking at such as Peter Blake, Dexter Navy, Damien Hirst and Dan Baldwin. Although I was unsure of why butterflies were used in this work I believe that they are an example of nature’s beauty and when added to a piece their prints and patterns give for a very aesthetically pleasing effect, so therefore I wanted to incorporate this in my work. Whilst on my photo-shoot I made the most of the location and photographed some of the other animals which I may also use in some of my photo-montages. I believe that this shoot was successful and has lead to plenty of images which I am sure I will use in my work for this project.
