I conducted a small final photoshoot using the studio as a finishing response to water pollution in relation to microplastics and the consequences of plastic ending up in he ocean each day.

I looked through each image however some were very similar. I flagged the ones with the best composition and had the most focus on them. I wanted to use cling film and coloured gels to create an illusion of a beach, small and choppy waves created by plastic to symbolise how the ocean is filled with plastic, so much so that its impossible to see it with the naked eye. I also layered this over other rubbish made from cardboard and foil to give the illusion that this was being carried by the sea waiting to be consumed by an unknowing animal as this is something that happens everyday.

MY EDITS:

For these last two images, I chose to use filters used in roll-up cigarettes as smoking is a general and regular thing that millions of people across the world do multiple times a day, a huge factor towards air pollution that is normalised and thrown on the ground almost anywhere. I felt it was important to show this in the ‘sea’ because it is something that is so disregarded and contributes to waste and pollution in so many different forms.
