Idea 1.

I would like to photograph Jersey from a high angle to represent how urbanisation has taken over the natural landscapes and resulted in a world, full of cars and buildings. I think these photos will also show. I am going to create images in densely populated areas, where there is lots of people, technology and buildings, next to areas that look similar, which are deserted, filled with natural elements and demonstrate humans impact. My locations for my urban areas will be based on areas such as St Helier, Town, St Aubin. And my locations for my natural landscape will be St Ouen, St John, St Mary and places that are mostly untouched by humans. Having two photos side by side with a similar shape e.g.

• A straight path
• A winding road
• An upwards view
• A low angle view

This with help the viewer to get a direct view of what the earth would be like if it was untouched by humans compared to the destruction we have already caused. This conveys a powerful message bout Anthropocene with relating to technology and human activity.

PERSPECTIVES-

Play on words by discovering multiple angles and perspectives, whilst also discussing the different perspectives on views when it comes to global warming and Anthropocene, e.g. disbelief and conspiracy theorists.

These images are some examples of work I would like to replicate in my photoshoot.

Photoshoot Idea 2

For this photoshoot, I would like to photograph simple emissions into the atmosphere, that affect the earth more than we realize. I feel these side by side comparisons (diptych) with create a meaningful message on how the earth is meant to be and how it has been transformed. One side filled with trees, plants and natural landscapes, compared to urban buildings and light will create an impactful picture which will make further meaning come across.

Earth warming main contributors:

Burning petrol when we drive.

Burning oil or gas for home heating.

Incorrectly disposing of rubbish.

Food waste.

Deforestation.

Using electricity generated from coal, natural gas, and oil.

Travelling via boat or plane.

There are many household objects that are bad for the environment such as:

• Tea Bags – Wet Wipes

• Plastic straws – Suncream

• Chopsticks – Laundry Detergent

• Microbeads – Toothpaste

• Razors – Cigarettes

• Coffee – Exfoliating face wash

• Glue – Hairspray

• Light bulbs – Mattresses

• Sandwich Bags – Bleach

• Hand Gel – Cleaning sprays

I would like to photograph these items and edit them in photoshop to create an array of images of simple waste item which build up into long-term issues.

Photoshop Idea.

I would also like to work in Photoshop, to display images similar to these. By using different lines, shapes and icons, I want to to represent the waves, radiation and air pollution caused from technology. To replicate this, I need to find a high up area for an angle what is looking down from above, this area would also have to be densely populated with lots of houses, buildings and roads. I think this would be a good idea to be able to convey the invisible elements of Anthropocene caused by technology and explore its effects. For this I will use generative fill and Ai on Adobe Photoshop to achieve this effect. I want my images to represent all the waves and radiation that are being used constantly through the world and especially in highly populated areas with lots of roads, cars, workplaces and leisure locations.

Experimentation with Ai.
