statement of intent:

what do you want to explore?/why do you want to explore the topic?:

the topic I want to explore is landscapes, but more specifically how its effected us how we have effected it and are absence in are innovation to help preserve are planet. I believe I will be able to make images that portray the messages that I’m exploring for my personal study by capturing images that show we’ve effected the for mainly are personal benefit without giving thought to the things there before us. The reason I want to explore this personally is because although its spoken about its not paid attention to enough to the point where everyone is doing their best to change the world positively, which is why I believe that it would be an interesting subject to do my project around as its something different. This project will allow me to not only learn more about this topic and enhance my skill with taking landscape images. My aim for this project is to produce a piece of work that can educate not only myself but others as we all live in the same bubble on the importance of what we are doing to the landscapes around the island but also the world and how we should be more ethical with what we do and if its all necessary. I believe by using photography I will be able to portray the message that I want to push as how else is better to see how we effected the landscape by showing people images.

how do you wish to develop your project?:

I will develop my project by making sure I take images in specific places such as through out town and some other more rogue places throughout the island and certain weather conditions that make the image look more appealing such as foggy weather or rainy days, but obviously this isn’t something I can rely on but would make the image more aesthetically pleasing. Certain techniques I would like to use would be long exposure panoramic shot as this will help me focus on the smaller elements in the image as well. to further enhance my photos to make them even better I will edit them to look more how I want them to which means some photos will consist of more warm colours popping in the image, then some would feature a more cold atmosphere in the image.

with the combination of my knowledge of the topic and using my photography skills, my intention is to create a series of images that show you the landscapes in multiple different angles view points and perspective. this will also help me show if we have really changed the landscape for the better which is going to help me link it to the idea of are the majority of people happy with their living conditions and the location they live? and if the answer is no why we destroying land for people to be unhappy?

when are where do you intend to begin your study?:

For this project I intend to begin my study by taking lots of images that are inspired by the artists i studied such as Rut Blees Luxemburg and Edgar Martins. would probably start my project by taking images throughout the night around town and possibly around the island trying to replicate some images from the artist I have studied and some photos from my own creativity, this is because I believe that it will be able to successfully show what I’m trying to portray by doing this sort of photoshoots. For example i would like to take images of things that represent damage to the environment and things that in my opinion that are wasted on the island. more specifically things such as abandoned places and things such as deforestation, industrialization and air pollution and overpopulation. which i believe some of these to growing problems in Jersey such as overpopulation which in hand has led to more industrialization around the island to provide for a growing population.
