I have decided that I want to present the theme of Anthropocene through landscape photography. I am also going to include altered landscapes and Photoshop into this unit. My idea is to photograph natural landscapes in Jersey that haven’t yet been affected or altered by humans – such as St Ouens bay, any beach, sand dunes and any woods, and photograph urban places in jersey such as town with many tall buildings and apartments. By photographing both of them I will then Photoshop and alter the images together by selecting a cutting out the tall buildings and pasting them over to the natural landscapes. By doing this I want to create an idea of what Jersey may look like in the future if we don’t stop building over our natural landscapes that we have left, this will link into the Anthropocene theme perfectly as it will show the kind of effect us humans have and will have on our planet in the future.

WHAT? I will photograph natural landscape sites in Jersey. I will photograph all of St Ouens bay from a high view and the sand dunes. As well as going into town and taking photos of the buildings and trying to find tall buildings/offices.

WHEN? I want to take my photos during the day as I want the sun to be out and have natural lighting, I will wait for a sunny day and possibly when the sun sets to make the coast look golden.

WHERE? St. Ouens and town/ places in Jersey with really tall buildings.

WHY? Once I alter my images on Photoshop I want to show how Jersey and our natural landscapes may look like in the future if we humans don’t stop building over any spare land we have left.

HOW? I will take my images on a quick shutter speed, to avoid my images going blurry if I move the camera. I am going to take most of my images from a high point of view/angle to capture all of the bay and dunes as well as capturing all of the buildings to make it easier and more presentable when editing them onto the coast by Photoshop.
