Throughout my past two years of being a A level Photography student I have covered many topics and learnt different photography skills such as learning the features of using a camera, using the school studio, light equipment, using adobe (Photoshop, Lightroom etc.) I especially enjoyed the abstract topic in year 12 as well as our project on focusing on plastic wastage as it interests me the most. Throughout the blog posts I have created I have felt as if the research and analysis has been my strong point and for the next few months I will be focusing on taking more photos than I did and to focus on being more creative with my final outcomes within projects. Here are some examples of my previous work..

“I have placed a pineapple among yellow watermelons for a strong contrast between the colours of yellow and cyan/green. To have the focal point on the pineapple I erased some black obvious specs on the watermelons and cropped the image to be more central. Finally I heightened the contrast levels and darkened the shadow level slightly as well as making a more vibrant appeal to the image.“

“This image above in red clearly relates to the theme of Anthropocene as it is describing the destruction of plastic and how damaging it can be. The red gloomy look makes the plastic looks as if it is deadly and is ready to do damage. The crisp edges seem to be sharp and aggressive.”

Currently I am focusing on an NFT film with my partner Chantal, here are some examples of what we are doing on adobe premier…

We are currently putting together a short film and learning how to use the features in adobe premier such as audio content, transformations between each scene, quality of video content etc.

Artist that intrigued me the most…. Mandy Barker

Mandy Barker is a British photographer. She is mostly known for work with marine plastic debris. Mandy inspired me the most out of many Photographers throughout the last year as her work expresses clear issues within the plastic wastage across out oceans. This image in particular I analysed and produced my own work on as I found it intriguing to find a solution in a way to photograph this type of photography
