Shoot 1:

Concept: Inspired by Keith Arnatt’s ‘The Tears of Things’ project, I will capture the rubbish objects that I have collected over the past few weeks.

Location: I will capture these images in a studio-like location.

Lighting: I will use artificial lighting spotlighted onto the objects so that everything else around them is dark.

Props: A piece of black card to form a simple background for the objects

Camera Settings: A large aperture to achieve a shallow depth of field

Shoot 2:

Concept: I will capture objects of pollution in a style similar to Chrystel Lebas’ ‘Weeds and Aliens’ and ‘Animated Nature’ projects.

Lighting: Natural lighting or artificial lighting so the details of the objects are visible.

Props: Plain Background.

Camera Settings: Standard settings to capture the object. Instead of using photographic paper in a darkroom, I will instead edit the images in post-production making them negative and then adjusting the hue to a similar colour to Chrystel Lebas’ work.

Shoot 3:

Concept: To capture the process of collecting items in the environment they destroy, in the style of Mark Dion

Location: The beach along the avenue

Lighting: Natural Daylight

Props: The items I have found

Camera Settings: Automatic settings to photograph in a documentary style approach
