Ideas
Idea 1
City & Forest:
For idea one, I would like to do a double exposure of nature and man made.
I want to use the leading lines technique and the double exposure technique together by using the leading line to split the image in half. For example i will use a road.
So on one side of the road is a city, maybe with the use of motion blur, And on the other side of the road, a lot of trees, Maybe edit the picture to add in more trees to make the tree side look more lush.
Problem-Solving
The problem solving I have done in my ideas is for idea one, my original idea for the idea was to make a split edit of nature and man made. Like central park in NYC. There is a street in-between the immense green park and the concrete jungle.
I changed this idea to a double exposure of a portrait and landscape/scenic shot in a double exposure as I experimented with the original idea and it was very difficult and time consuming.
Model Double exposure:
Instead of a city and nature split. I want to do a double exposure of a model and forest. I attempted the city and forest split and found immense difficulty in just finding the pictures.
For problem solving I have decided to change this idea and use a model and use her outline for the double exposure. I would use this to represent how nature and humans can be one. This double exposure would be nature and man becoming one with each other.
Tim Tadder helped inspire idea one with his work he did with the footballer’s double exposure. I liked how he made scenes visual in the models heads, helping to represent their backgrounds and characteristics. and I want to do something similar but with trees and models.
Idea 2
Natural Disaster:
Natural disaster idea where i can use photoshop to implement a natural disaster into a regular scene.
So say I took a shot of the Milton Keynes skyline, I could make it look like a natural disaster has happened like a tornado, a tsunami (Unlikely as we aren't coastal) or Volcano.
Nico gooden helped inspire this shot with his landscape photography on cities.
I experimented with a shot of London I took from a bridge and used that to experiment with.
Idea 3
If humans just disappeared:
My third idea, "What if humans just disappeared?" I find post-apocalyptic movies and games interesting, and i would like to image what earth would look like if the humans emptied out of its cities and villages and disappeared, letting nature reclaim its land.

Vladimir Manyuhin is my main inspiration for this idea as his edits of NewYork, Moscow and various Metro shots are what I aim to be able to re-create in my own work.
