my idea was to capture how buildings and civilization has cast the world's natural creations in its shadows, overruling its beauty 

I used a canon camera and lightroom

i focused on reflection, lighting, and shadows to highlight my message of civilization overshadowing the natural beauty of the earth. the reflections and lighting encapsulate the beauty of nature and the shadows display the overshadowing of nature

my idea was to capture how humans experience natures beauty through technology

i used a canon camera, lightroom, iPhone 13 pro camera, and photoshop

i decided to use a camera as the subject and represent technology because it is the main method of how humans capture nature within technology, i also used the camera to block the sunset in the back, as humans focus on capturing the beautiful view rather than experiencing it

picture 3:

my idea was to capture how humans have transformed nature into an addictive, destructive force

i used a canon camera, lightroom, a vape, and burnt mint leaves

i burnt the mint leaves and put them in the inhaler of the vape to represent how the natural uses of the plant are simultaneously wasted/replicated while making the device and used to damage individuals who use them, all through technology
