My first photoshoot was inspired in the style of Jeremy Carroll and tried to create the same effect that he did on the viewer.

Jeremy’s image was taken with studio lighting, where my image was taken outside under natural lighting on an overcast day. The aperture of his image appears to be moderately high because everything in the shot is crisp and in focus. The aperture of my image was around f.4 because I wanted the front of the face to be in focus but the sand and surrounding bottles to be blurry. Jeremy most likely used a fast shutter speed because of the bright studio lights, I also used a fast shutter speed in my image because of he bright natural light and to compensate for the slight movements of the camera while I took the image. Both images have low ISO as they are crisp and not grainy.

Jeremys image has bright saturated colours with minimal shadows. My image has a darker more moody colour palette with lots of shadows to create a bigger impact on the viewer.

Both images show a person being trapped by netting and other marine pollution. Both symbolise how fish and other animals are affected negatively by the way humans pollute the oceans.
