For my Anthropocene mock exam, I managed to complete 3 photoshoots in preparation. I managed to take photos in locations such as, La Collette, the quarry, and derelict buildings. I took a range of 150-200 photos in total and narrowed it down to around 20 possible further edits which I could use for my final images.

To decide which images I am going to further edit I used the flag pick tool to go through my images and choose which images I believe are useable and can be edited. I did this because some of my images came out in either very bad quality or bad angles and lighting.

I then used the rating tool to rate my selected images from a rating of 1-5 to narrow down my images even further. I picked a total of 9 images which I rated 5 stars meaning they are useable for my editing.

Photoshoot Review

My aim was to complete 3 photoshoots which I managed to do gaining around 250 photos. In my first photoshoot I took around 75-100 images, in my second photoshoot I took 50-75 images and in my final and third photoshoot I took around 100 images. With a total of around 250 photos I have enough images to successfully edit and manipulate to create high quality final pieces. My best photoshoot was located at the industrial area next to La Collette because of how many structures and buildings that link to the idea of Anthropocene. There were structures such as an incinerator, recycling centre, car dump and water tanks. On my quarry photoshoot I didn’t manage to take a huge range of photos because of there only being one area that I photographed from the same angles.
