2. 2-3 ideas about what you are planning to do; how, who, when, where and why?

1.What I plan to focus on within ‘variation and similarity‘ is nature. For example I want to record the variation and similarities of a number of different places and areas around Jersey; fields, beaches, woods.

Places and areas:

• St Catherine’s woods
• Le mare beach
• Green Island beach
• Gorey beach
• Pontac beach  
• St Brelard’s beach
• St Ouen’s beach   

2. Secondly I want to also focus on specific objects within nature; leaves, clouds, rocks, trees, flowers, etc, I plan to photograph these objects numerous times in a number of different areas and attempt to find a variation of the same type of object.

Objects:

• Rocks
• Flowers
• Clouds
• Trees
• Bushes
• Insects
• Shells

3. I also want to incorporate people into my photographs, for example using hands to to hold objects and act as a backdrop for objects such as leaves, flowers, rocks, also photographing a person stood in the same position, but in different areas, allowing the model to give insight into each area, for example size and scale of areas and the comparison to each other.

I want to focus on variation and similarity within nature, because I feel like Jersey is largely made up and has a lot of nature; beaches, fields, woods, for me to photograph, giving me the opportunity to include a large range of photographs and therefore a lot more chance to show more variation and similarity.

To allow the best possible outcomes I plan on shooting outside in natural light, in the areas and places that objects are found and the areas themselves, but also I plan on shooting inside using lights and a backdrop, to create a more professional finish to my photographs. Shooting both ways will give me the opportunity to experiment and in turn make more informed decisions about my final outcomes.

When presenting my photographs I want to incorporate typologies and the style that Bernd and Hilla Becher used to present their photographs, I feel this is an effective way to show the similarities of objects and areas that would otherwise by them selves appear unalike.
