For this photo shoot I took inspiration from both Lilli Waters and Jeremy Carroll. I used this to create Anthropocene themed images with features from Jeremy Carroll with a colour scheme and overall feel of Lilli Waters work.
My image, as well as Lilli Waters image was lit with natural lighting on an overcast day. My image is framed closer up than Waters image and us using an aperture of about f.4, Where Waters image was taken from further away with a wider view of the background, also using a more narrow aperture to keep everything in the frame sharp and in focus. Like the first photo shoot, the shutter speed was fairly fast because of the bright natural light and movement of the subject in both images.
I used a similar colour palette as Lilli Waters by having the subject wear light coloured clothes to contrast to the dark earthy coloured background. I used the concept of the subjects hands being trapped from Jeremy Carroll, but used chains instead of bright coloured plastics to match with the colour and feel of Lilli Waters work.
This image represents how humans are endangering marine animals because of the chains restricting the subjects hands. The ‘marine’ aspect is displayed through the location of the photo shoot seen in the background of the image.
