My given location – red Area (St Helier)

The area assigned for me to research and photograph is the zone in red. This area consists of the old police station, which is beginning to look run down. This area includes multiple hotels such as the Savoy and the Norfolk lodge hotel which would be interest subjects and locations too shoot as I could capture its history by finding archive images of the hotels and to find out about the hotels history. Furthermore, Rouge Bouillon school is also in the given area and would be a interesting subject to shoot as I could have the opportunity to capture the school in a different way. I would also be able to capture the community around the school and also the area.   The school and the police station creates a strong contrast due to the safety from the school and the criminal action and danger from the police station.

My intentions for the photo shoot is to not only explore and portray the area in the way I percieve it to be but to also capture a sense of what the area once was and could be in the future. I intend to focus on three main elements. This will be the community, the history of the area and the modernization/future of it.
