In order to develop my exploring of ‘Variance and Similarity’ further I have further shoots that I plan on producing so that I can add to the material that I have to work with as well as adding to possible experiments that I can do with my work.
- My first shoot idea is to focus on steel, specifically its texture. In my previous shoots and experiments I have looked at contrasting man-made building faces with natural granite rock faces. This has led to me thinking, as I was focusing on the material of granite, it may be interesting to contrast man-made structures with eachother by focusing on how the materials used to make houses have changed overtime. Traditionally granite has been used in Jersey but as office blocks, such as the international finance centre, have been developed there has been an increase in more ‘modern’ looking materials, such as steel. I will plan on capturing different textures of steel and then using these as a backdrop as I have done with the granite photographs that I have produced.
- My second shoot idea is a follow up to the previous photographs that I have been producing of building faces. Previously I have photographed buildings in the area of St. Peters and in St. Helier, which has resulted in the photographs demonstrating vernacular architecture as the buildings in the geographic areas will have certain styles of architecture to them, especially if they are part of an estate. Next I will visit St. Johns and produce a shoot of a range of houses/buildings in the area in order to increase the range of material that I have to work with.
