Although I was somewhat satisfied with my long exposure shoot inspired by Darren Almond, I wanted to create a more fantasy representation of the land. I wanted to do this to try and exxagerate the beauty of the natural landscape to influence the viewer of how we should treat the land to preserve it and keep it like this. So, using the images from the previous shoot and others I had collated, I have created a series of images that represent a utopian view on the environment. They display my views on how the world is and should be kept thus being naturally beautiful. This conflicts with some of the current situations in the world of high demand for urbanization. Therefore these images act as a statement to show people what we are destroying and to try and influence them to contribute to the prevention of natural destruction.

Editing Process

I think both of these edits have been very successful in creating the fantasy landscape like I intended. The deep blue tones throughout  give a dreamy mood which helps to influence the viewer that the natural land is a beautiful thing. I think the long exposure shots in the first place really helped to bring a fantasy element to the overall edit as in real life you cannot view the ocean in this way. By downloading Photoshop brushes i was able to construct the clouds in the sky as well as the stars in the sky itself too.
