For this photo shoot my intentions were to capture this location in more detail and depth. I did this by shooting derelict buildings which had a sense of usage and were clearly left abandoned. I wanted to show the unnecessary space being used up by these buildings that are wasting space. I also intended on bringing a strong contrast between the old vs new of St Helier which would show the wasted space these buildings are creating.
Further experimented images
I feel this shoot was stronger then the original due to a number of different factors. By planning this shoot I feel that it clearly shows that I have thought about what I wanted to capture and how i’d be able to capture future of St Helier in the strongest way. My images where again in black and white as I thought I would be able to use these images to relate to the archive images that I focused on before the shoot. Furthermore, I think by having them in black and white creates more of a story behind it due to the shadows and different shapes that are created and enhanced. These aspects make the image stronger as I feel these certain images would be boring without the shadows and different shapes that help make up these images. Again these images I have chosen to experiment with further are the ones that I thought where the strongest and feel tell more of story then any other image out of the shoot.
