–period of time during which human activities have impacted the environment enough to constitute a distinct geological change.

The reason Anthropocene is used in photography is to bring awareness to the consequences of human action on the environment and photographers use natural evidence in there work to show people the destruction global warming is causing.

Here are some examples

Gustave Le Gray was born in 1820 in Villiers-le-Bel, Val-d’Oise. He was originally trained as a painter. He even exhibited at the salon in 1848 and 1853. He then crossed over to photography in the early years of its development. He made his first daguerreotypes by 1847. His early photographs included portraits; scenes of nature such as Fontainebleau Forest; and buildings such as châteaux of the Loire Valley.

Le Gray published a treatise on photography, which went through four editions, in 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1854. In 1855 Le Gray opened a “lavishly furnished” studio. At that time, becoming progressively the official photographer of Napoleon III, he became a successful portraitist. His most famous work dates from this period, 1856 to 1858, especially his seascapes. The studio was a fancy place, but in spite of his artistic success, his business was a financial failure: the business was poorly managed and ran into debts

New Topographics is photographing a man-altered landscape that contrasts modern development with natural landscapes. This type of photography gives an insight as to how man-made developments were taking over nature. Unlike Ansel Adams, it shows the truth behind this issue and shows it how it is.

Robert Adams

Robert Adams was known for using the style of New Topographics in the 1970s, after releasing his book The New West and his participation in the exhibition New Topographics. He mainly photographs in California, Colorado and Oregon, where he captured his vision that was created by his joy for natures beauty. However he noticed this was exploited by the urban and industrial growth that had ruined it, and he managed to capture this in a simple yet effective way.

for my photoshoot I am planning to go to corbiere light how to take photos of the scenery around it however i do not want want to take photos of the lighthouse as i feel photos of the corbiere lighthouse are too common and there is never anything unique about them.

i am planning to use low exposure to give the illusion that the water is misty while travelling across the rocky scenery

I personally life this image as the editing I use is quite unique and gives the illusion of an x ray which I think gives quite a creepy tone to the image.

I was personally not a fan of this image as it do not like the purple colour as it does not go well with the dark shadows .
