Planning:

Photoshoot 1: Pollution

One photoshoot idea I had was to focus on Pollution and waste. For this photoshoot I am simply going to go to popular places on the island where people would most likely litter and pollute the earth. This could be places such as parks, forests and the town centre.

I decided to do this as Pollution is a big factor of Anthropocene as plastic has become a key factor. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade, it ends up littering soils and ocean beds. This can have damaging effects on wildlife, damaging soils and groundwater. It also has a great impact on global warming as extracting and creating these plastics emits vast amounts of greenhouse gases, This is Plastic pollution. There are also many types of pollution so I am going to try and focus on as many as I can:

Water Pollution– ‘harmful substances—often chemicals or microorganisms—contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water’

Noise pollution– ‘ regular, prolonged or sudden exposure to any unpleasant, damaging, or irritating noise above a certain level which will harm people, wildlife, or the environment.’

thermal pollution– ‘the harmful release of heated liquid into a body of water or heat released into the air a waste product of a business’

Mind map of places I want to visit to take these images:

Photoshoot 2: Greenhouses/glasshouses

This second idea I wanted to focus on greenhouses as we have a few greenhouses (out of use) in jersey and so I would have places to go to.

for example, the photo in the bottom left is similar to what I pass on my way to school so therefore I already have a location in mind and there are a row of out of use greenhouses there. If I cannot manage to get many out of use greenhouses I am also going to extend it to in use ones

Photoshoot 3: Overpopulation

For this photoshoot I am planning on photographing populated areas. I could focus on many different factors of overpopulation which can include population of people, buildings, cars, homes etc.

I live near a field where I can stand at the top and have a view of groups of houses so I am going to do a photoshoot there, another place I am thinking of is town as it is a very populated area almost all of the time. Traffic and cars is also something I want to focus on, this could include cars moving on the road or cars that are parking.

Photoshoot 4: Artist inspiration, Michael Marten

for this photoshoot I am going got take photos inspired by Michael Marten on his work on sea changes. This would mean I would have to take photos at different times since I will have to wait for the tide to be at different places. I think this is a good photoshoot idea as there are many beaches I can go to to take photos as we have many in jersey
