What is Anthropocene?
The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems.
How and why are photographers exploring this concept?
Humans have become the single most influential species on the planet, causing significant global warming and other changes to land, environment, water, organisms and the atmosphere. Photographers can use their skills to capture this concept and publish/ display it for people to reflect on. I think its a very impactful genre of photography.
Examples of Anthropocene:
Global warming, habitat loss, changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere, oceans and soil, and animal extinctions.
Moodboard:
I am aiming to photograph more landscapes and greenery. Land erosion, Deforestation and urbanisation.
