Photography Project - Planning

My chosen genre of photography is environmental photography. My theme is going to be about how dirty London is, especially Waltham Forest. As Waltham Forest is the borough of culture this year the bad parts of the borough are going to be left unseen by the public so I'm going to bring the environmental issue to light.

My target audience is going to be teenagers and young adults in the London as the issue is most pressing towards them, and if the issue is not handled soon then there could be no going back.


My layout is going to be an A1 print with a few A3.


My creative intention is to make people aware of the pollution that's being spread within Waltham Forest. Due to Waltham Forest being the borough of culture for 2019 there were a lot of aspects of the borough that were overlooked. The biggest one, in my opinion, being the pollution issue and through my project I wanted to spread awareness of the rubbish being left in our borough.

This photo was taken at a steel works in Wollongong, Australia, showing the pollution caused by the large chimneys which are adding greenhouses gasses into the atmosphere. This photo has significance in terms of environmental photography as most people from outside of Australia think the country is a beautiful place with a lot of nature and wildlife. Although, nobody really thinks of the pollution that occurs there the same as other countries.

This is another photo taken by Daniel Walker. This photograph is taken from a collection called Menangle River Reserve. As the name suggests this area is a place for nature, however, there's still pollution. Although this time it's not atmospheric, instead being water pollution as someone has decided to dump a tire in the river.

This photo was taken by Saeed named 'End Floating'. This photo also won the 'Environmental Photographer of the Year 2018'. This photo shows the salty ice melting caused by climate change and global warming. The salt dust is then captured by the breeze in the air and can cause serious eye, skin and lung damage.
