Response to Michael Marten

For this shoot i wanted to create a series of images inspired by Maten’s sea change project. I will looks at the moving tide in Jersey which would be significant since we have the 3rd quickest moving tide in the world. To start with I researched the tide times and located a week where it best suited my needs. I needed the high and low water to be within a time in the day where there was light. Thus ensuring that there is a consistent theme so the contrast between the low water and high water images look the best.

With this information I just needed to figure out certain locations to shoot at, obviously the initial ideas being on the coast where the sea is. I pin pointed a variety where the change in sea height is easily distinguished by rock formations ect. I came up with the locations, St ouens bay at L’roco tower, corbiere lighthouse, St Aubins bay, Beauport beach, Portlet beach and Plemont bay. For this shoot i decided to go with Plemont bay . I will first shoot the locations at low tide and mark the exact spots in which i took the photo’s using colored tape. I will also write down the particular settings and focal lengths used. This will mean that when i go back at high tide i can get the exact same shot just with a change in water height.
