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
- First, I would go around the island and look for urban areas. For e.g. in St Ouens, St Catherines woods and so on.
- 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.
- 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
- First, I would also go around the island where I can capture different landscape pictures.
- Next, I will capture the morning and evening picture to be the exact same place just at different times (am & pm).
- 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
- First, I will meet family and explain my ideas/work.
- Then, ill set up the camera to capture gestures like, holding hands, cuddling, cooking etc.
- 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
- First, I will meet two of my friends.
- 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.
- 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.
