George Marazaki: ‘A Cure for Anthropocene’

My photographs relating to the Anthropocene:

Evaluation and Critique

For this photoshoot, I chose this location and took photos with inspiration from George Marazakis’ series called ‘A Cure for Anthropocene’. I decided to focus on man-made structures that are surrounded by nature that is predominant to the landscape or overgrown, for example, the radio tower at the top of the rocky cliff, the lighthouse atop the rocks out at sea, and the damaged, abandoned rock quarry surrounded by bushes, all showing the juxtaposition between nature and infrastructure.

I feel like my planning for this photoshoot helped me understand the overall composition and deadpan approach in Marazaki’s photographs, and I was able to take inspiration from those. In my photos, the natural light differed from each spot, which I paid attention to and adjusted my settings accordingly for the different locations. However, In my contact sheets, I noticed that some of my photos were underexposed, and I corrected them when editing by increasing the exposure or applying a mask on the darkest areas and increasing the exposure or brightness.
