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.
