In this post I am going to be presenting all my editing and manipulating that I managed to achieve during my Anthropocene mock exam. Most of my edits have been done on Adobe Lightroom however a small selection of them have been edited on Adobe Photoshop. I am going to further present these images through a virtual gallery which will be found further down the blog post.

Evaluation and Critique:

Overall, I am happy with how this whole mock exam went and my final edits. My edits I created are party inspired by artists I studied which I tried to replicate in forms of lighting, angles and photo looks. All of my images fit in well with the idea of Anthropocene because they all involve some sort of story explain the effect of humans on earth. My main aim was to create unique and attractive images with a lot of analysis and research. For preparation I travelled to locations such as, La Collette, the quarry, Gorey, and other industrial areas. I managed to collect around 250 photos overall in preparation for this exam. To improve in my next mock, I am going to make sure I get more photos from different angles, times of day and lighting. I feel as if I had enough photos to successfully follow the mock criteria. Also, I am going to make sure I am fully prepared next time by completing all my artist research before entering the exam. I feel as if I did very good with my edits, research and analysis.
