PHOTO SHOOT PLANNING

SHOOT 1:

  • WHERE: Within my personal study, I will be focusing on 3 main areas of study , personal, external and internal. The persona aspect of my project I will be looking at my own personal journey and the ways in which my family has occupied Jersey, capturing images of my own home. The external aspect of my project will be focusing on the exterior aesthetic o low cost housing within Jersey. Lastly the interior aspect of my project will done within empty properties, arranging viewings with estate agents in order to do so. 
  • WHEN: in order to capture the exterior photo shoots, I will be attempting to capture them during more gloomy and overcast days as I feel this will add to the themes associated with the topic at hand which is all about control and institutional discrimination. 
  • WHO: My project will be focusing less on people but rather places, I will be using documentary style photography in order to carry out my shoots, focusing on the state of the housing market and the truth of affordable housing. 
  • WHY: The topic at hand is personal to both me and a large population of Jersey. Immigrants, young people and the elderly, making it almost out of reach to buy or rent property which lives up to suitable standards. 
  • HOW: I will be using a mixture of both film and digital photography in order to carry out my photo shoots. A theme which I also want to convey through my work photography as it will be linking to the impacts of trauma and childhood. 

SHOOT 2:

WHERE: Going forward after my first photo shoot, I will be conducing these within the rental properties which are available in Jersey. Mostly focusing on property in St.Helier as this tends to be the area with the largest concentration of immigrants and affordable housing.

WHEN: In order to achieve quality imagery, I will attempt to capture the images during daytime, retaining natural lighting within the images.

WHO: Much like the first photo shoot, I will be focusing on places rather than people so therefore my imagery will be solely focused on the interior of properties. Looking at small details such as the kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms etc.

WHY: A topic which I am highly interested in and am willing to explore is the housing crisis which affects a large population of Jersey, not only the immigrants but young people and the elderly all face institutional discrimination which makes it extremely difficult to get on the property ladder or be able to find housing in Jersey. There is an extreme lack of affordable housing for low income families and young people alike, who start out on the bottom earning minimum wage at the start of their careers.

HOW: Taking into mind the logistical problems associated with capturing and developing film, for the remainder for my shoots I will be using a digital camera in order to capture my shoots. Although it may not be authentic, there are methods which can be used with editing techniques which can give the same aesthetic qualities as print film.

SHOOT 3:

Repeating the steps taken in shoot 2, I will be conducting further shoots taken within rental properties which will allow me to gain a variety of resources and use these in order to create a narrative and conclude what I have seen.

SHOOT 4:

Repeating the steps taken in shoot 2 and 3, I will be conducting further shoots taken within rental properties which will allow me to gain a variety of resources and use these in order to create a narrative and conclude what I have seen.

SHOOT 5:

In my final shoot I will be focusing on my own home, taking the same approach of documentary photography as in shoot 2,3 and 4. This shoot will allow me to create a cyclical narrative, using the internal, external and personal narratives within my personal study.
