Romanticism

Romanticism in photography consists of capturing sublime scenes and dramatic landscapes which create a sense of awe for nature. For this topic, I created HDR Merge Images of the cliffs at Plemont and L’Etacq. This was inspired by Ansel Adams as he would photograph picturesque landscapes, mainly mountains. He also used the Colour zonal system which is a system of tonal values from black to white as his images were in B&W. This is why I used HDR Merge so that my images displayed a range of tones and colours. I really liked this project because I enjoyed capturing the beauty of the natural landscape and, at the same time, it can nice to go out and take the photos.

The New Topographics

The New Topographics is a project which explores how humans have altered the natural landscape. For this project, I walked around Harve des Pas and captured images of buildings and a combination of both the natural and built environment. I really enjoyed this project and it inspires me to photograph the urban environment for my personal project.

Anthropocene

Anthropocene is a word used to describe the impact of human activity on Earth’s climate and ecosystems. For this project, I photographed industrial areas of Jersey such as La Collette, Bellozanne and the Quarry at Sorel. I enjoyed this project as it allowed me to be creative whilst also illustrating the Island’s impacts on climate change. This project inspires me to capture photographs of positive actions that the island is taking towards climate change such as the construction of sustainable buildings.
