The aim for this shoot was to photograph the sunset and the beach during ‘golden hour’. For the shoot I went to St Ouen’s beach because on this side of the island it is flat and has the perfect view of when the sun is setting and you are able to see the perfect sunset. I got down to the beach a little while before the sun had even begun to set so I went and explored the beach and some of the rock pools near Corbiere Lighthouse to kill some time. A my project is exploring my connection to Jersey and trying to look at the island in a way of beauty. When I was young I always used to come down to Corbiere with my family and try to go fishing in the rock pools there. I was always fascinated with the habitats that had been created in the smalls cracks of rocks . So I thought that by going back here I would be able to look at the place with a sense of nostalgia and would try to communicate this in my images.

To edit these images I used photoshop, I found that mainly all of the images only needed minimal editing because the colours were very vibrant and colourful already. Throughout the whole of this project I have been looking at small details of everyday landscapes and things that we would normally pass by everyday. I have found that I haven’t needed to do much editing in comparison to other projects that I have done. Because when doing those projects I was less thoughtful about what I was photographing and was trying to capture as many images as possible. Which has shown me that if you really take time and focus when out on a shoot, you can save a lot of time in the editing process.
