I Am planning on photographing 171 postcards which I have bought with the intention of using in this project. I believe that these postcards show the connections between Jersey as the rest of the world which I intend to explore with this project and therefore I thought they were very appropriate to use in photo montages and collages. The dated aesthetic running through the majority of these postcards is firstly something which I believe will successfully show the history of development due to modern systems around the world. And secondly I believe these visual qualities will make for an unusual and interesting outcome.

Here is how I am going to approach the photo shoot…

Brief: photograph sourced postcards with the intention of use in chaotic photomontage/collages

Subjects: 171 vintage sources postcards

Location: Home, dark room or outdoors depending on the weather

Light source: Lightbox and camera flash if the weather is bad, Natural outdoor lighting on a white canvas if the weather is good

Exposure: Slightly over-exposed, so that when edited together with other imagery light tones can be emphasized and edited with easily

Lens: 18-55mm
