Since this first mind map and mood board, I have decided to change my ideas. I was originally going to photograph plastic pollution, however, decided to go against that idea and do a photoshoot on car light pollution. I thought this would fit the theme of Anthropocene well as it focuses on how the world has been altered through human impact. and due to the vast amount of people who drive cars enabling toxic fumes to be released into the air impacting on wild life i thought i would be able to capture this.
MSH*
The work of a British photographer known only as MSH* manages to capture the frenetic energy of London, he uses a slow shutter speed to create photos from a low down view point to make you feel like you are apart of he image.
here are a few of his images that he has created using slow shutter speed/ long exposure.
comparison of MSH*’s photos and mine:
on the left are the photos that i have taken, and on the right is an images that MSH* has taken
Jersey’s Finance Industry:
Jersey has been a leading international finance centre (IFC) for more than six decades. This might be because it is a tax free environment, therefore lots of people decide to move here to become part of the financial industry.
The jersey finance website claims they have over £131.4 billion in deposits. But due to the huge and growing tax-free financial industry, are they putting any of this money forward to help the environment?
Instead they are putting in money to expand the industry by building more offices in different locations, taking away from the environment and industrializing more areas.
Below is a time line posted on their website of their expansion:
2001: Jersey Finance was founded to promote Jersey as an international finance centre globally.
2009: Jersey Finance opened an office in Hong Kong and Jersey companies became able to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
2018 : Jersey Finance became the first international finance centre to set up an office in the Dubai International Finance Centre.
