Anthropocene Photoshoot

For my first photoshoot, I went around the harbour when the water was out taking multiple different photos of boats and how they have been affected by the ocean, corrosion and oxidisation. Didn’t get as many photos as the second photoshoot, but still got some good worthy photos I will be using from it.

For my second photoshoot, I explored the dump/recycling area near Havre Des Pas to take photos of all the different recycling sections from glass, metal, plastic and the burned materials turned into dirt. With also seeing a lot of abandoned vehicles just left to rot.

I started with this photo which I really liked with the bricks all placed down in a straight line, directing the attention towards the broken down/abandoned fire truck. But, I wanted to create more with the photo and focus on the straight line. So, I started by adding some AI rubbish on the left and right on the floor to create more of a dump/abandoned theme to match the whole photo. Then masked out the entire background apart from the bricks and the fire truck, and did (Filter – Blur – Motion blur – 30) which created a blurry/non-focus look to the photo but when you look closely and realise the bricks and fire truck are focused that’s what draws the viewers attention. Then, after that, the photo looked good but I didn’t quite like the sky and top half of the photo, so I told AI to add a sky, which gave me two boring/bad generates, but the third matched the theme with the power cables connection across the screen as you can see and so I kept that one. But then, asked AI to create a sunset as well, which came out exactly perfect as I imagined it, giving us the final result.
