Anthropocene – Photoshoot Action Plan

I plan to do two photoshoots, one outside inspired by Stephen gill and the other the studio with reference to Vilde Rolfsen.

Photoshoot 1

I want to collect plastic off the beaches, street, and from my house and take pictures of the local landscape through them. Stephen Gill actually put the materials inside his camera but instead I will use clear plastic sheets and bull clips to hold in front of the lens. I want to take the photos in bright natural light on the beach.

WHERE- various beaches- st aubins as it is closest

WHEN- midday- for bright light

WHAT- landscape + collected plastic

HOW- Using aperture priority

Photoshoot 2

For the second photoshoot want to focus more on recreating Vilde Rolfsen’s ‘Plastic bag landscapes’ but I want there to be an element of portraiture – faces and hands seen through the transparent plastic bags. I will use the studio lights to backlights the bags to create silhouettes underneath.

WHERE- studio

WHEN- Anytime using studio lights

WHAT- plastic bags, portraiture

HOW- using aperture priority settings to create depth of field
