Nature’s Unity.

Natures unity – this is when you picture nature coming together as one. Its when plants and wildlife grow and collectively create a union within themselves.

In this plan, I want it to be straight forward as to what I’m photographing and to know where I’m aiming to take these pictures.

Action Plan

1. First, I would go around the island and look for urban areas. For e.g. in St Ouens, St Catherines woods and so on.
2. Then, i would take a walk around these areas, looking for signs of unity. For e.g. animals playing, trees growing together, intertwined roots, flowers together etc.
3. Ill then capture these scenes, creating a theme of unity by focusing on the blending of different elements in nature.

In this shoot ill be aiming to focus purely on nature. I don’t want to go off the theme of trees, plants and anything wildlife.

Juxtaposition of Opposites

Juxtaposition of Opposites – this is when you show the unity between opposites. e.g. light and dark, old and new, soft and hard.

In this plan I want to really focus on light and dark. I really like the idea of showing unity through the morning and the evening, to show the beginning of the day and the end of the day. I like how there’s a metaphor of union in the idea of morning to evening.

Action Plan

1. First, I would also go around the island where I can capture different landscape pictures.
2. Next, I will capture the morning and evening picture to be the exact same place just at different times (am & pm).
3. ill then edit them to match perfectly, and edit any imperfections out of my work.

In this shoot, ill purposely only aim for light and dark, creating a metaphor for unity.

Symbolic Gestures

Symbolic Gestures – This is when an action is done that creates meaning.

In this plan, i want to focus on capturing the gesture of love. Not necessarily just romantic, but the gesture of caring for another.

Action Plan

1. First, I will meet family and explain my ideas/work.
2. Then, ill set up the camera to capture gestures like, holding hands, cuddling, cooking etc.
3. After, ill change the scenery up and capture more gestures.

In this shoot, ill solely focus on family members and the love they share.

Friendship

Friendship – this a close and mutual bond between individuals characterised by affection, trust, and support. It often involves shared experiences, interests, and values, and can provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging.

In this plan, i want to focus on capturing the pure details of a friendship. I want two models, so i can truly focus on what a strong bond/friendship actually is. Usually the strongest bonds are formed between two, not a whole group. Even in groups there are tight nip bonds in them.

Action plan

1. First, I will meet two of my friends.
2. Then, ill take photos of these two friends acting in ways that will capture true meanings of friendship. I will focus around the beach and areas we can walk around and chill out at.
3. ill then edit these pictures a bit in Lightroom and photoshop. But I mainly want them to be quite natural and simplistic.

In this shoot, ill focus solely on my two friends.
