For my first shoot I am going to expand on the theme of how a persons upbringing and political influences on their emotions effect how they feel about a location which is reflected through the emotion of the landscape scene itself. In order to pick this to pieces and explain what I mean more: As said previous politics is about decision making decided by a group of people who’s class is usually higher than those who’s decisions they are controlling. Because of this they do not have an understanding of what it is like to be in poverty or when people need social help for them and their families. This consequently leads to these people being mistreated ignored or given the wrong treatment or help by the government. The inflicted consequence of this makes these affected people negative towards their surrounding and physiologically because they are sad and angry what they see around them too if full fo anger and sorrow. This could be a personal response to the community around them or landscapes locally where they live. I want to visit many different locations which mean something to the person in which I am taking a photo, I want them to choose by how it evokes emotion within them being in this environment. I want to convey a clear emotion through each location mimicked by the position and position of the person too. I can explain emotion through, positing, angles colour and I want a clear strength within the image. I haven’t seen an artist who has tried to explore this physiological theme of emotion caused by politics and so this first shoot will be a very experimental in order to see what is effective and if i should expand to my other themes of fashion and narrative documentary photography. If this perhaps tabloid approach first doesn’t work out I will try and make a narrative story about the effective of these deceptions on the persons and landscape, making loads of images along the way to mirror more of an experience of the person themselves. The more physiological part of how when people are annoyed all they see are angry people and a harsh ;landscape with poor intentions is my main interest. I think I can really create an interesting tabloid and an over exaggerated shoot from this.We constantly have to engage with our surroundings and our bodies is our own landscape. Because of this I will also do a small shoot whole on the Person themselves to show this emotion as they are their main home and being.

This is a really interesting article which is something I would be very interested in expanding my themes within. However she has said that her work is inspired by more eastern styles:I think that realism is more Western style. Japanese like to express emotions and spiritual feelings through the landscape photography.Contemporary theater, art and music stimulate the brain and increase mood. Emotional art heal people and leads the society to harmony. I took a challenge to capture emotions with my camera.Using logical thinking at photography results in better attention to the detail, but there is a tendency to get bored. Working with feelings and looking for emotions is more relaxing.
where the shoot will be and what I will need: I will try and visit at last two location that have an impact on my subject whether that be positive or negative. I will experiment within many different camera effects in order to enhance the image and if this is effective within the subject I am trying to connote. I think will be more influences by a beach, hilly field and perhaps a urban landscape for these images. I also want the clothes the person is wearing to have a relation to the emotion and impact and perhaps question the political views to why they feel that way about the area itself. Additionally I think an effective thing to do will be is quote the person with a portiture image as i think this will support my themes and have a stringer impact on the audience and reader. I think this project could really make a change in governmental decisions and they can clearly see the impact it had upon people.
Overall I think this artist approach is very circulated about getting the perfect image in the way of composition and the beauty,there are equal positions throughout and this type of photography would be considered as the ‘perfect’ or ‘right’ way to accomplish such an image. The tones also have a clear reflection of atmosphere,she will not use black and white as other the colour is a reflection fo scenario.
Evaluation:For this shoot I wanted to finalise and make sure I have been to multiple areas In St Helier and reassure the images I have are the best way to capture St Helier in a successful angle altogether.I clearly focused more on the architectural side of my narrative within this shoot and wanted to display different angles that can be turned conceptually into an idea of character which each section holds. Within these images Morden buildings are the recurring them although you are able to see some significant monuments and buildings more neglected and so perceived as urban. When editing the images I wanted to enhance tonal features and so the composition of shadows and the angles of the edges and shadows of the building themselves. This shows a presence to the work and position the more built upon section of St Helier to have more power and authority over previous sections. Overall I will not use these images as my final and will continue to keep my previous red images as they show a more possessive narrative of destruction reconstruction modernisation and the community which lives among this constant time.
This is my favourite image that I produced throughout the whole of my coursework and each genre of photography we covered. I like it because it was during the landscape project that I realised the creativity in taking a photograph doesn't have to end once it is taken, yet a set of photographs can be fused together to make something ultimately better than one image. This photograph consists of many industrial buildings from around St.Helier. When some these buildings are seen standing alone they look dull and ugly with its only purpose is for practical reasons. But, when they are mixed with buildings of the opposite with architecture only created for the pleasance of its view, the ugly and the pretty compliment each other and create a grand fantasised superstructure.
The focal point of the image is the yellow telephone box I kept in colour. I did this because I wanted to target the attention onto an object that has been neglected by the uprising of mobile phones.
The image doesn't necessarily make sense in terms of lighting but I had to make use of the natural light I had on the day of the photoshoot. In a way however, it creates a deeper depth of field with the buildings further back darker than the buildings at the front. This doesn't destroy the illusion of the superstructure because of the choice I made to make it black and white, mirroring the work of Beomsik Won.
During the composition of the image was the most artistic I felt during the whole project I found out that my creativity wasn't limited in the actions of taking a photograph and printing it off.
