when experimenting with displays I used an array of images in order to find what images are the most complimentary to each other, through colour and composition. I wanted to use many different compositions of overlaying images with more saturated colours or perhaps a more simple display of two large images alongside each other as the images itself is enough to carry out the display.I believe I have narrowed down my images to five possible final displays,my favoured images being those with a white boarder and colour but not over saturated, I think these successful show a story of St. Helier in the more desolate areas and also the development of architecture and modernisation of St Helier overtime.

For the colour editing I wanted to ensure all of the images had strong abstract colour effects that were complimentary to the original images themselves. I wanted the colder tones to be on the images with darker shadows and lighter tones on those with stronger highlights.

Edits:

For my first images I wanted to experiment wihtin dividing and duplicating segment of the images to create a fractured dynamic, I think it creates a depth within the images and a disjointed narrative structure which is effective.My second images I wanted to extend the way in which the long corridor is exaggerated, it allows a centre point to the image. Both of these demonstrate cropping in a different manner in order to exaggerate different aspects of a piece. to either lengthen or disorganise a piece to become more abstract and present St Helier in a more iconic method.

Within this image I wanted to form two images together, using instant alpha and moulding two separate environments of town together, one is of a floor covered with de constructed buildings and the other is a buildings falling down, this is interesting to me as they both symbolise the deterioration of St helier and perhaps the near future consequences for the house itself. I think it is a weird composition and almost as if this is a collage but I think this could be further experimented with and perhaps make a successful image altogether.

These two images I wanted to capture the design of a building in an interesting angles,I wanted the images to look as if they have an authority and power, it Presents the modernisation of a building,how the first is the development which looks bad and complicated however the contrast within the  second piece and how it looks so smooth and futuristic.This is also interesting as both images were taken next to each other in the same environment. it is a development of how cropping can be copied and expanded to create an abstract piece. 

these two images I used photoshop and cropped the shape of them in order to be more focused on a specific section of the original piece itself. it presents the same building from two different perspectives.The first shows a narrowed angle and is stretched in order to show the length of the building itself, it is also interesting as the light is centred throughout in the same mirroring shape. 

This image is similar to the previous it is a lot more abstract themes wihtin the structure and how there looks like a long extension until the horizon.it shows an industrial field,I made the tones within the images copy from different segments of the images and repeat. 

My main interest within this was to crop in on a specific centred angled gate as it has a dynamic pattern and having a highlighted  contrast to the dark wall on the right and light wall on the left. 

For the portrait images I wanted to purely crop the images in order to create a straight connection within the person themselves.Tthe crop allows a direct eye contact and allows the shape and proportions to be mirrored by the length of their body of the activity they are doing. 

this last images I cropped in order to look as if you were about the centre the houses it is more centred upon the left sided and I have edited off the road in order to not get distracted by the environment but purely the house and architecture themselves ,and an idea of the people who live in there.

Overall theme:

conceptual idea of development and re-development throughout history and the need for modernisation within architecture. I want to capture the development of remodelling billings and the stages through knocking them down and re-building. Addtionally this highlights the them of old vs new which I want to express through the narrative of people within the area and additionally the buildings that represents them. The concept of time can be seen through theses narratives.I will further develop this seen through the old deteriorating buildings to infer the new need for development or portray modern or iconic buildings in a futuristic light. This development of urban gentrification and dereliction shows the different types of poeple in different urban areas. My current portraits and old urban buildings have a connection of old St Helier and narrative need for development and the contrasting juxtaposition of the modern developmental shoots of St Helier and my next shoot of people surrounding the finance modern buildings.
