My aim is to attempt to create images as similar to Axel Brauns ‘human-altered landscapes’. To achieve this, I need to focus on making sure the weather and location is suitable for my photoshoots. I am going to do 3 separate photoshoots and aim to take 100 photos for each one.
Locations
PHOTOSHOOT ONE: (100 pictures)
St Catherines woods, Bouley Bay woods and any area with an excessive amount of trees.
PHOTOSHOOT TWO: (100 pictures)
Reservoirs, specifically Val De La Mar, Queens valley.
PHOTOSHOOT THREE: (100 pictures)
Electric towers, any industrial buildings.
Why these locations? – How does it corelate with Anthropocene?
PHOTOSHOOT ONE:
I picked to do woods as i want to try photograph tree stumps and any fallen trees. Also, to try find any land erosion which in this weather will be easier to find. This relates to Anthropocene as erosion degrades land, which means it can support fewer plants that can take in climate-warming carbon dioxide.
PHOTOSHOOT TWO:
I have picked to do reservoirs as the man-made structures located in usually countryside’s and in the central of certain habitats, I’m mainly using this as a location to do this photoshoot as Axel Braun has a photo of what seems to be a retaining wall which hold the water in the reservoir in structure which has inspired me.
PHOTOSHOOT THREE:
I’ve chosen to do electric towers mainly as they are also located in countryside’s and can be seen near rivers etc. This relates to Anthropocene as its man-made structures invading natural wildlife areas. Also inspired by Axel Bruan.
