Photograph 1

This is the original photograph with no cropping done as of yet. I believe this photo will be effective to focus in on different aspects to change the ideas portrayed.

I believe this edit helps to portray the shape and alignment of the church and almost demonstrates how the church is aligned behind the buildings. This is because the narrow crop reflects how narrow and skinny churches are compared to their height. This photo could possibly represent how religion in St Helier is not respected. This is because the building in front of the church appears to be pretty torn up as if the area is pretty rough which contrasts with the ideas of Christianity which is showing respect towards everything and being peaceful. 

For this crop I have focused in on the church and the dominant factor it has compared to all the buildings below it. It appears to be tall and superior which could imply that religion is a key aspect to St Helier. This demonstrates a strong sense of community within St Helier.

This cropping focuses on the dirty, torn up building which shows a sense of poverty and destruction that is present within the area of St Helier. By cropping out the church, the whole concept of the photograph has been altered.

Photograph 2

This is the original photograph with no cropping.

For this photograph I narrowed down the image to ensure that there are no distractions to the focus of the image which is the mans happiness. I cropped it so that the viewer can too look towards the direction the man is positioned and looking.

The cropping of this image focuses directly on the man and his happiness with the modern park that he is in. The main attraction, thus being the water fountain, is what i photographed through and clearly the man is enjoying it. This shows that St Helier’s recent developments are benefiting our community and they’re enjoying it.

For this photo shoot, I wanted to capture the modernization of St Helier and show the development which is occurring to improve the area and build a stronger community. When wondering around the area i noticed that the development was a lot less centered around community but more around making life better for others with new modern buildings, and what appears to be making St Helier more futuristic.

These few photos above demonstrate a sense of community without actual people being there. This is because of the nature of the place I have photographed and the goals/aspirations of the people that run the building. The building is the freedom church which once was a cinema. Both attractions designed to bring people together and build a sense of community. The freedom church aims to bring youngsters off the streets at night causing trouble and provide a safe place for them to hang out. These photos provide a strong juxtaposition with my second photo shoot that focuses on the destruction of the area which relates to the kids causing trouble on the streets and vandalizing buildings.
