For my second photo shoot I want to photograph rocks and shells as ‘objects from the beach’, I have chosen objects from the beach to photograph as part of variation and similarity because there is a wide variety of objects on the beach, meaning my selection of photographs will be larger. I also plan on using a variety of backdrops; smaller stones and a white backdrop, this allows me to create the factor of variation while taking photographs of the same object, creating the similarity. To create a more interesting effect I want to photograph the rocks and shells with the sand and dirt on them from the beach before also washing them and photographing them, I hope this adds more texture and detail to the shells and rocks when photographing them.

Types of shells I hope to find and photograph:

• Mollusks
• Cockle
• Butter cup
• Cardita
• Crossed rib venus

Places to photograph:

• Le Mare Beach
• Le Hocq Beach
• Le Rocq Beach
• Gorey Beach
• St Ouen

Equipment:

• Camera
• White paper (backdrop)
• Smaller stones (Backdrop)
• Shells/Rocks
• Natural light
