During my personal study I have learnt to do lots of different things to help me develop my study, For example when we were creating our zine layout, I learnt, how to do this effectively, shown below is an example of the zine layout that I found was successful as the message on the side matched the image.

I also learnt about the process of how photographers had to use to create colour images, This had me interested as it showed me the difficulties that the photographers had to go with to create the image, that we can take for granted today. This is an example from Emile Guiton:

We also learnt to take portraits using the flash in the studio, I enjoyed this area of photography as I enjoyed taking images of people. heres an example of an outcome which I edited.

To develop my personal study, I have decided to look further into the memories of the occupation of Jersey of the islanders who stayed in Jersey. By doing this I hope to extend the knowledge and importance of these difficult situations, people were placed in. Therefore meaning that I am going to focus on portraits, and interview people and take images.

I focused on different themes through out my personal study, I decided go choose this is evident in my zine where I decided to go with 2 different themes, which was opposing for example at the start of the zine I decided to go with the start of the war and the views of people, then by the end of the zine I decided to go with, the views at the end of the war, I believe this was effective. We also focused on a Artist called Rafal Milach and his work: The First March of Gentlemen. I did a response to his work which was to create my own montage, I liked this artist as his work captured peoples imagination and thoughts, which then created a different view on what was going on in the image. Heres an example of what my response was:

Also throughout my personal study, I looked at different artists for example the contemporary photographer Martin Parr, I liked the way he took his images as they told a story, but also how they had a big depth of field, I also looked at the historical Photographer Francis Foot, I chose to look at this photographer because he focused on taking images of people, this is my focus of my development of personal study.
