These are images I took on a short walk along St John’s. This is the rubbish I came along on a 15 minute walk, this signifies the amount of plastics and waste that is discarded along the way. I found this photoshoot particularly meaningful because it established how much waste and litter is easily discarded throughout the world. And although the island is seen as predominantly tranquil and clean, such ease to find rubbish and discarded single use plastics

Allotments In Jersey.

Allotments are small parcels of land rented to grow fruits, vegetables and plants. These small areas are a cost effective way for families and citizens to produce fruit and vegetables for their household. these allotments, with the proper care, have the ability to produce enough fruit and veg throughout the whole year. Another use for these patches of land include beekeeping and the inhabitancy of rabbits and hens. However, when these allotments disappear or are removed, the wildlife loses their precious habitats, this poses as a threat for the wildlife. Although, many different forms of plants thrive in allotments, which creates a positive impact and creates a habitat to different species. Different waste materials also pollute the soil and can cause the contamination of the crop growing soil.

I think this photoshoot, shows the importance of humans’ contribution to the helping of the planet and positively benefiting the planet. To improve on this photoshoot, I could go into more detail and get closer to the components of each allotment in order to show the small efforts people are willing to go to.

• You can grow and eat your own food

• Allotments encourage exercise and benefit mental health

• Allotments create a sense of community

• Allotments improve the environment

• Allotments are beneficial to wildlife

These photos are also a contribution to my Anthropocene project, these are templates for my AI images where I will create fake realities with the hills, beaches and seas filled with buildings, pollution and urbanisation. These were taken in St John and overlook the beaches below. These are currently very plain landscape which has been untouched by humans apart from aspects such as:
