Throughout this project my main aim for my images was to explore the environmental consequences of the construction industry and how it may effect the future generations if it is not changed somehow, during my research i was astonished with the actual impact construction waste and extreme over construction has on our planet and day to day life. According to new research by construction blog Bimhow, the construction sector contributes to 23% of air pollution, 50% of the climatic change, 40% of drinking water pollution, and 50% of landfill wastes, These statistic are huge and i believe they should be really brought to the table when talking about climate change and the way humans are impacting the world, This really fuelled by intentions when taking these photos since being a teenager in jersey the overexploitation of construction jersey is greatly impacting the islands future with property value sky rocketing, this means children and young adults on the island will find it extremely hard to ever have a future one day without having a large amount of money.

For my photoshoot I went to a construction site on Wellington road in St Saviour as I had permission to walk around with a member of the management system who agreed with the research I was doing and showed me many stages of the construction and different forms of wastage throughout, from air pollution to wastage of materials such as wood and plastic i cant begin to imagine the sheer amount of waste that occurs across the world let alone one site.

My images are all in black and white since I believe that its displays the message that it is almost as if humans will de evolve if something isn’t done to save our planet. Although the style of my photos are Anthropocene, I did not want to have any people in my images since i thought it may take away from the dramatic affect of the shoot and will leave an image in the viewers head that the fact there is no people around may be the case if the environment isn’t saved sooner.

Throughout the shoot I used high shutter speed to captures has much detail and to not allow a lot of light in as a i like to have a dark gloomy style to my images.

Overall i think my photoshoot was a great success and i believe i managed to capture some great shots for the ideas I wanted to share.
