Action Plan

I am planning on doing 3 photoshoots of different locations, with 100+ photos in each photoshoot. In each shoot, I am going to take photos at different times of day and different weather conditions, this will give me a wide variety of photos to choose from for manipulation and final photos.

Photoshoot 1

One of my ideas for a photoshoot is to travel to the quarry in St.Johns and take photos from the top of the quarry, the photos of the quarry are inspired by one of the photographers I have studied, Edward Butynsky. I believe the quarry is a really good response towards Anthropocene because it shows the effect of human life on natural landscape. I am going to take as many images as I can and edit them to respond appropriately to my project. These landscapes suit the project very well because it shows a clear effect and response of how nature has been destroyed and used for human advantage.

Photoshoot 2

Another idea for a photoshoot is to photograph abandoned and desolate buildings which have been taken over by nature. I believe photographs of these buildings fit with the topic of Anthropocene very well, as it portrays nature taking back land which humans have built on, and buildings which have permanently changed the landscape. One idea of an abandoned building is St, Saviours hospital, which greatly portrays how nature has taken back an old building built by humans.

Photoshoot 3

My last idea for a photoshoot is to take photos of heavily littered areas around jersey, such as the dump. I believe taking photos of a lot of litter fits with Anthropocene as it portrays how much humanity have polluted the Earth and just the amount of litter and rubbish humanity produces which infects the natural landscapes.
