When deciding my favorite photos I decided to split my contact sheets into photos taken in Jersey and photos taken abroad. The first are mainly all in color because of there bright colors I didn’t want to make them black and white. However, as there were no bright colors in the photos I took in Jersey I didn’t want them in color.

When taking photos in Jersey I wanted to mainly focus on old people as I found them more interesting than other people I walked past. I felt like through their posture and the way they are dressed they were telling a story. They lived through a lot and that’s why I found them more interesting.  This is also why I decided to make the photos black and white as these are old people. Photos would have been black and white when they were children so i wanted to reflect that. I also wanted the black and white to focus on every little crease and wrinkle on their face.

The photos above were used in my summer project (apart from the last one). These were taken in NYC, taking photos there was a lot easier as there were interesting people everywhere. These were just a few of them. The colors were vibrant and loud but also industrial and grimy. This is what caught my eye when taking photos. I enjoyed capturing the humor, business but also the loneliness. When editing I increased the saturation and darkened the outlines of the main focus. In many of them I also cropped them to focus on the main subject.
