Intro

During the time and effort i put through doing my investigation and investigating with the project (Occupation vs. Liberation) i gained a lot of experience and skills with working on portraits, environmental photography, photo shop skills……. .And in this blog post i’m going to write and overview of these stuff i learnt as well as the inspirations that inspired me throughout my work.

Knowledge

The occupation

I gained a lot of knowledge about the island through this project as i have lived in jersey for almost a year and a half without even knowing that there was an occupation that occurred before i came. so through this project i now gained knowledge about almost everything i can know about the occupation from when it started to what they ate during the occupation.

Home

Moreover i also gained knowledge about the family i lived with as i lived with them without knowing that much about them but when i was working on my Home Sweet Home project i learnt a lot about them by photographing what they do at home throughout the day.

Skills

Light Room

Throughout doing this project i gained a lot skills with practicing photo editing specially using Light room as i have always been using Photoshop but we had to use light room in this project which really worked to my advantage because i got to explore all the new ways of editing photographs.

Camera Handling

I also expanded my photography techniques specially with environmental portraiture and still object photographing through the project (Still Life). And got more professionalized with using camera skills and adjusting settings.

Conclusion

in conclusion this project really taught me a lot of stuff but mainly just gave me experience about the whole idea of being involved in the history of the German Occupation in Jersey.
