My Ideas

To Explore Humans Destruction To The world and the environmental and social impacts it has on earth. I plan to look a certain situations such as urbanization, deforestation, global warming, rising sea levels and pollution. I will incorporate a sense of surrealism to help portray these secrets about our earth and emphasize them by doing so. This links to the exam title as my images will convey the secrets about our earth as well as defy the conventions of early day photography. This photo shoot and edits will have political context within it due to the awareness of environmental issues that Trump believes doesn’t exist.

Analysis

I believe these images respond to Thomas Barbey’s photos in the way the conceptual ideas are similar. Thus being the environmental issues that humans create and the man made features that are destroying our beautiful world. I have tried to over exaggerate our beautiful world by creating these fantasy landscape images, combining a few different pictures i have taken and then juxtaposing this with man made features that are wrecking this. I believe this over exaggeration helps to portray these messages. I have consistently used the moon through these edits because the ‘moon’ is symbolic of a fantasy world and it therefore contrast nicely with the train tracks and light bulb which are subjects that are destroying our world.
