final

sustained investigation

My concentration aims to capture nature living in the modern world. It highlights how the complex yet rapid development of human civilization and technology has reshaped the methods and purpose of nature. I plan to explore this idea by capturing how humans use nature as a force of good and evil and how nature attempts to survive within the modern world filled with unnatural human creations. 

guiding questions 

how is the beauty of nature important to humans and what would we do without it?

how have humans attempted to replicate the natural beauty found within nature? 

reflection

  • my idea was to capture how humans have attempted to replicate nature's beauty, outlining the importance it has to humans

 

  • i used a canon camera, lightroom, fake plants, and dead leaves

 

  • i focused on lighting within this project, using which subjects within the image/scene to give the most lighting to indicate the subject matter (highlighting the fake plants to outline it as the main focus, overshadowing the dead leaves in the background), another technique that i used and discovered while editing my photos is using noise reduction to give my images a "plastic-like" effect. this was important because some of the fake plants i used looked real at first glance, so i needed to make it more obvious that they are fake when the viewer first sees them
