Light Pollution

For this photoshoot I took photos of the sunset above fort Regent that overlooked the town and the harbour and the image presented both natural light and artificial light. The photos were taken at sunset at about nine o clock and so the buildings are all in shadow and the sky had the sunset colours which gave a really nice contrast between light and dark. I also took photos of the lights on the runway by the airport, I captured this image through a wire fence which looked really interesting as you could see the coloured bright lights through the diamond shaped gaps in the fence.

My Favourite Images

Mandy Barker

For my Mandy Barker photos I collected plastic and bits of rope from the beach and took photos of them on an all black background, then on photoshop I used all the different photos I took and layered them on top of each other and changed the opacity of the ones in the background to make the image look fuller and to make it look like there is a lot more plastic waste in the ocean. Then I kept on layering the edits until it became a montage of edits.

My Favourite Images

Overall I think my Light Pollution photos were the strongest because they capture what light pollution is and they look the closest to the image I was trying to recreate. I think my Mandy Barker inspired photos could of been stronger by collecting a lot more objects along the beach and getting a bigger variety of images but I do think they represent Mandy Barkers images well and when they were layered up as a montage the final result looked similar to one of Mandy Barkers montage images.
