I needed to create images that could be used on various different media platforms and for physical advertisement to get the Living Levels initiative more well known. I had the idea of showing the seawall and the condition it was in after the recent weather conditions. My original idea was to present a series of images I produced for an own personal project which was all about my local area and the surrounding canal walks very close to my house. After I did some research, I found out that my original idea was not usable as it wasn’t in the boundaries of the living levels.
The shoot went extremely well as I had a perfect number of images to send to RSPB relating to how the sea defences coped with the weather conditions and flooding that happened over the weeks. I decided in post-production to make my photos black and white as if they were colour the bright blues of the sky may have taken the viewers eyes away from how the defences are useful.
