Anthropocene is the time in which humans had a substantial impact on the planet. Photographers have started to spread awareness on the dangers of climate change, over population, pollution, deforestation, global warming and many more. Photographers have started documenting different images of the issues on the planet for everyone to explore an in depth understanding of the reality of the world.

These are some images from photographers who have taken a interest in representing the disasters in the world. Something that most of these images have in common is that they are filled with bright colours. Bright colours are usually associated with happiness however this significantly contrasts with what the images are actually made for. Anthropocene is awareness of the dangers in our planet such as cars, plastic and toxic fumes that we pollute the air with. Anthropocene photographers take pictures of these disasters to warn people of the damage us, as humans are causing to our world. I really like the topic of Anthropocene because as young people we are the ones that have to try to help change the way we live.

I particularly like this image, this is because it shows the consequences of our actions when it comes to plastic. This image shows a bird that has unfortunately died and the body is full of plastic. The photographer who took this image wanted to show people how dangerous plastic is and if we don’t recycle or reduce our use of it, this is what will happen to all of us.
