Artist comparison:
George Marazakis 
Edward Burtnsky
This is a comparison of two different Anthropocene artists, Edward Burtnsky and George Marazakis. I first noticed that both images are very similar, with both displaying what seems to be either a mine or a quarry. In Edwards image the tone of the land is noticeably more darker compared to which could be related to how the world is slowly becoming in danger. Both images seem to show the same amount of landscape with Georges including a little lake at the bottom of the mine.
To compare the two artists, Georges images display less colour and involve colours that are a lot more dull and boring. However Burtnskys images are all taken in different kinds of landscapes showing a lot of vibrant and also dull colours. Georges photos are mostly seen to be taken in desert landscapes without much man-made structures. Burtnsky is trying to show the impact of humans on the world by expressing his thoughts through photos of industrial landscapes.
