I think that throughout the Future of St. Helier newspaper project I have thoroughly explored the different aspects of St. Helier and the people within it. I have photographed environmental portraits and portraits of unaware subjects to catch the different sides of the population of St. Helier as well as photographing completely different styles of buildings within the capital. If I was to explore the Future of St. Helier again I would focus on more set-up photo-shoots with interesting people within the parish in order to get an insight into what they think the future of St. Helier is and how they feel about the changes that it is going through.
At the beginning of the project I planned on photographing lots of people in their natural work environments in order to create a collection of photographs that show the different jobs and dress codes that come with them in St. Helier. My intentions changed when we visited the construction site at Ann Street car park as I saw the difference between the newly built buildings and the buildings being demolished and thought that this difference had to be recognised as it is the Future of St. Helier in the present.
I learnt throughout this photographs that there are many aspects to St. Helier which differ depending on which area of the parish you are in. Every subject that you photograph or speak to are completely their own person and have a different story. I learnt a lot about the future plans of St. Helier and how vital the finance industry is to Jersey and how quickly it is advancing.
