For my final response to the theme of Journeys and Pathways, I chose these images:

I chose all of these images because I beleive they relate to the theme of Journeys and Pathways, and each of the places where these images have been taken have a history and have been through a journey. For example, the first image of the rock is from Corbiere, the lighthouse in Jersey, where a groundskeeper drowned while trying to rescue visitors who were stranded at the lighthouse when the tide came in. The second image is from The Sexby Garden in Peckham, central London, where the park was created in 1906 on land which used to belong to the last farm in Peckham. The third image is from Noirmont in Jersey, the floor where German soldiers walked over when they invaded the island and built their bunkers and cannon holders. And the last two images are from Grosnez castle in Jersey, which was created in 1330 to provide local farmers refugee from French attacks, but was mostly destroyed in the mid 1600’s. These images were inspired by The Boyle Family, who go around taking pictures of floors which seem interesting.

I chose this image alone because I think there can be much done to it which can result in an amazing final image. Although I wasn’t inspired by any photographer when taking this image, I believe that I could distantly relate it to the work which Mikko Largerstedt does. Although this image wasn’t taken at night, it does focus on the aspect of a pathway, which some of Largerstedt’s works do. With some editing and adding of colour and vibrancy, I believe I could relate it even more to his work.

These images were chosen because I think they were the best out of all the pictures I took for sunsets and sunrises. They both seem dramatic with the clouds and the colours, with the setting and rising suns hidden from view but their light still significantly visible in the images. I also think they’d work best with the photographer Paul Rieffer, who takes pictures of stunning sunrises and sunsets with amazing colours and views. With some editing, I believe I can replicate what Rieffer does.
