Sea Wall:
The three images below are my top outcomes from the sea wall photo shoot and edits, inspired by Gina Socrate. The photographs are considered successful as they showcase my ability to use and adjust camera settings for effect. It shows my ability to use different depth of fields, focus points and experimentation with different formal elements. The double exposure technique in these three photographs all clearly show a clear message of how the sea walls changed and developed during the second world war. In addition, the technique creates a unique and interesting outcome which changes our perception of the sea wall, justifying how they are successful.
Bunkers:
The next few images showcase my successful experimentation with the bunker images, which showcase another stage is Jersey’s Journey through the second world war. All of the images take a different approach to the idea, but are all as strong, in meaning, as one another. The four images have all been inspired by artist research and showcase my favorite outcomes from the bunker photo shoots. They can be considered successful as they show my ability to use different tools and approaches to manipulate my images, moreover it shows my competence to use and adjust camera settings for different effects.
Propaganda:
The next photo shoot and approach I took was looking at propaganda and the impact it had in Jersey’s Journey through the Second World War. Although the imagery is successful, I do not believe that it is as strong as the bunkers and the sea wall, due to the less links it has towards the project title. However, the images are successful as they showcase my ability of studio photography and the use of artificial lighting to achieve effects such as chiaroscuro. In addition, it shows how I am able to take a graphics design approach to manipulate my images.
