The Environment linking to the Past and Present:

• For my project I want to produce a variety of images from documentary photography where i photograph the landscape and then juxtapose that with images of what I find in the area formally. I will photograph plants when I first find them and then again after a period of time to see how it has changed and to represent the effect of time of living things and the environment. I will display this at the start of the book and them at the end of the book, making the overall theme more obvious.
• I want to take inspiration from the book ‘The Meadow’ by  photographers Barbara Bosworth and Margot Anne Kelley where they explore the connections and relationships formed between humans and the natural world. One specific aspect i want to interpret is how they collect objects they find around the area they are investigating and photograph them formally.

• I want to take inspiration from Stephen Gill manipulating the lens and exploring themes of pollution by placing object he finds in the lens and  looking at smaller details around a specific area.
• I want to incorporate this side of Stephen Gills work into my project and use archival images discussing the acts of past and present generations.
• I plan to investigate one specific area within my book, focusing on the beach ‘La Motte’ where I will document and collect objects and gather archival images.
• To interpret Mandy Barkers work i want to physically create interesting patterns like the ones she photographed through a microscope. I will then juxtapose these images with one of the landscape or objects I’be photographed, using the same colours and shapes.
