Each artist in this collection of images has provided me with inspiration for how I would like to capture the essence of St. Helier. I have selected images from the archive. I noticed a lack of portraits and the few I found were composed by Francis Foot, this has enabled the idea of capturing the people of town rather than architectural and landscape based pictures as I believe that what makes up St. Helier is the people and community. 
Another artist I would like to base this project on is Walker Evans and his collection of photos of American workers - 'Labour Anonymous' set out in the style of typology. He used the method of standing still with his camera set up by his waist shooting passersby framed by the negative space of a wall in his location. The collection of images are all candid and even when the subject realised their photo was being taken, their expressions were still honest and they almost give a bigger insight of who they are as individuals. Although all the pictures are set up the same and look alike, each person creates a different mood and emotion.
The last artist I drew inspiration from is Lewis Bush. The images I chose use a technique of cutting and pasting and repeating one image that creates an intense and overwhelming feeling. If I could apply this to portraits I would hopefully  like to emphasise the emotion and individuality of each person I capture on the street by repeating key parts of their portraits that add flavour and insight to who they are and what their motives are in that moment.
