I went round to different places in jersey and photographed (mainly focusing on nature. Here is shoot 2 with around 300 plus photos.
My favourite images from this shoot are;
What I like about these images is that the lighting/mood and direction of each photo is good. It focuses on the main target of the photo which isn’t blurry and is perfectly aligned in the centre.
This photo shoot was done up in the valleys. I really like these photos because they show character and I included a variety of different locations to represent antropcence. Antropcence is all about us and how we can make an impact on nature, here are some images of shoot1.
Here is the photoshoot, I am going to be editing some of the photos. Here are some of my favourites from the 3 shoots
evaluation – Anthropocene has been considered a geological period of high risk due to the indiscriminate use of natural resources and the lifestyle taken by the world population, to the detriment of ecosystem conservation. I think my pictures turned out good, with analysing different points of the world and how humans can destroy and how there are ethical issues even within photography. I think my images turned out well because there’s loads of different images and angles and I like the fact they look “rusty” however I also think I could’ve taken a bit more photos of rubbish and damage that humans have caused.
(n) The proposed current geological epoch, in which humans are the primary cause of permanent planetary change. From anthro (or anthropos in Ancient Greek), for “human,” and cene (or kainos in Ancient Greek), for “recent”.
The Anthropocene Project is a multidisciplinary body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific research to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.
Focusing on the idea of the environment and nature I am going to photograph images similar to these for my photoshoot.
Anthropocene would have many events marking human-induced impacts on the planet, including the mass extinction of large vertebrates, the development of early farming, land clearance in the Americas, global-scale industrial transformation during the Industrial Revolution which also shows us the cause and effect of humans on the planet.
Sammy Baloji is a photographer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He works in Lubumbashi and Brussels, and held exhibitions in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, Bilbao, Cape Town and Bamako. He worked on anthropocene artists photographs, such as ..
Why have you chosen this artist?
I’ve chosen this artist because I admire his work and the way he presents his photographs. the way he contras colours and the way his image is presented out interests me the most because it shows us that he takes a lot of work and effort into his images. I want to recreate similar, aesthetic images such as some of his most famous photos. His work relates to anthroponce because its to do with trees and how we are affecting the planet which shows us an insight into the bigger picture he is trying to get across. I am going to respond to his work by recreating similar images such as these:
Here is one of my own images, to nature and sea.
Liu Bolin
Liu Bolin is a contemporary artist born in China’s Shandong province, who specialises in self-portraits where he is disguised to match his surroundings. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Shandong College of Arts in 1995 and his Master of Fine Arts from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 2001. His work is very inspiring, especially if you love nature. I love the idea of taking photos of nature and making it look presentable and showing the world how we are destroying the planet ourselves and I think this is how the two photographers relate because they are both giving the world an insight as to how we are ruining the world, however Bolin more focusing on flowers and beautiful nature which is what I prefer. Bolin’s work relates to the theme of anthroponce because. This is what makes them so similar yet so difference as they are both trying to resemble the same thing but in different ways. As a response to this I am going to photograph nature.
eg.
Both artists respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world which is what I admire in these images. I like the fact you can take photos of certain and still backgrounds focusing on stuff that we can change and affect.
The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth until now. It affects Earth’s geology, landscape, limnology, ecosystems and climate. The effects of human activities on Earth can be seen for example in biodiversity loss and climate change and the land and how it’s formed- Scientists and Artist’s have come together to look at this topic
The planet is one system and us as humans are the protagonists for changing the world into this state (planetary shift), we are dealing with the consequences because of our actions- such as climate change or methane gas from cows which is ruining our planet. The Anthropocene defines Earth’s most recent geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on overwhelming global evidence that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biosphere and other earth system processes are now altered by humans.
Here are some examples of typology of photographers.
You could make them very broad such as photographing rubbish from a bin or make them very specific to animals and hills and ruins.
How and why are photographers exploring this concept?
The Anthropocene is sometimes used to simply describe the time during which humans have had a substantial impact on our planet. Whether or not we are in a new geological age, we are part of a complex, global system and the evidence of our impact on it has become clear, therefore it can show us strengths and weakness about what we are doing to the planet.
What does Anthropocene mean in art?
The Anthropocene is the geological epoch we’re living in now, where human activity is the primary driver of climate change and changes in ecosystems.)
The Anthropocene Project is a multidisciplinary body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific research to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.
Signs of the Anthropocene
Agriculture, urbanisation, deforestation and pollution have caused extraordinary changes on Earth.
Consequences of the Anthropocene
These human actions cause, among other consequences, changes in the water cycle, imbalances and destructions in the marine and terrestrial ecosystems, the increase of extreme meteorological phenomena, the acidification of the oceans or the disappearance of the forests.
These were two separate shoots of landscape and nature.
Photographed at Harve de pas, la collate and near highlands college. I tried to encapture nature, background and landscape in my photos. There are many different angles with many different angles and shots. It is important to put in the time to learn the basics of photography, including the exposure triangle, white balance, focus and metering modes. Learn how to use filters such as polarizers, graduated neutral density filters and regular neutral density filters
