For this photoshoot, I decided to visit beaches such as Greve De Lecq, Beauport and other beaches, this is due to the fact they have a huge amounts of space covered with rocks, beaches and dramatic skies, which is perfect for my take on ‘The Sublime’.

My favourite photos.

These photos I think perfectly signify the sublime. This is due to the fact they have bright, dramatic backgrounds which emphasize and romanticize the setting. These photos are symbolizing how insignificant man is to their surroundings and how small humans really are physically and metaphorically when it comes to earth and its landscapes. In these photos I wanted my models to stand far away from me and look like they are exploring the area. This was to symbolize humans attempting to understand how big the world really is. I wanted them to also be appreciating the setting around them but from a far distance so yo can not see their faces or any particular individual details to show we are all as insignificant as each other when it comes to the vast landscapes around us. I also wanted some photos to be in black and white as well as colour as some do not need colour to show their romanticism.

My other photos do not have people in them but still signify ‘The Sublime’ because The Sublime is associated with the extraordinary and grand, which my pictures display with the huge blue skies, bright colours and beautiful views. These photos I also think inspire a feeling of awe or fear when looking at them, this feeling of fear may come from a feeling of overwhelm when seeing the large distance the e.g. sea goes on for. This may be defined as the sublime.
