Plan

I have decided to base this photoshoot on the waste that is thrown out into the ocean. I collected waste from the beaches such as the old fishing rope and plastic parts. Then to get an ocean look towards the images I submerged a blue piece of card underwater in a sink with the rubbish floating around. The beauty in the flower placed is to replicate the oceans goods but then is shown to be surrounded by waste that humans produce. This is exactly showing and describing what Anthropocene is seen to be.

Editing

For these images i did not do much editing. I played around with the brightness and contrast levels but apart from that I wanted to keep it more creative than a fake image.

Relating to Mandy Barkers Work

My final images I took are seen to be describing what plastic and waste products are dong to the small beauty in which our oceans hold. As the rope and debris submerge the flower the image becomes more scruffy and out of place. This is what rubbish in the real ocean would come across to be seen as but even bigger and more.

Both images above are based on the idea of waste that has been abandoned in the ocean. Mandy’s work has been completely created using photo-shop and that is how her images have been made to look as if they are floating around in the ocean in big bundle of waste. Although that is true, even trying to get an image in the best quality to what they look like now would be impossible.

Evaluation

This photo-shoot was quick when coming down to taking the actual images. It was inventive and a different way to explore ocean pollution. These images I took were to raise awareness on how the beauty in which out oceans hold is being quickly destroyed. If I was to do this photo-shoot again I would use different objectives and explore different way in which I cold use photo-shop to create images closer to Mandy’s style.
