I drove down to La Collette to take more photos for my mock exam, and decided to focus more on the dump and recycling plant instead of the other areas around it. I asked some of the workers for permission to just take some photographs and had a conversation about photography while I shot my images.

I then walked down the road to take some photos of the rest of the site from a distance and of cars passing by.

I then sorted through the images and only selected a small range to edit during the exam.

I experimented with changing the colours in the photos to be duller and seem ‘more dead’ – such as the sky, grass, etc. to remove focus on the more natural areas of the photo.

I like all of these images, especially because, in my opinion the tones create an almost apocalyptic feel with the rubbish and dead-looking plant life everywhere.

I could also try to edit more of these in my spare time, and see what I can come up with.
