My personal investigation will look to explore abstraction as a medium while exploring the labour forced by the Germans.
I am looking to practice abstraction via subject and lighting manipulation as opposed to camera/ editing tricks. I am looking to photograph the sea wall and establishing shots of the surrounds as well as forming sculpture from similar aggregates used in the sea wall in order to explore the forced labour used to construct the German defensive structures in Jersey.
For my project, I have decided to focus upon the story of my grandfather and his time serving in the Royal Air Force. I have found a set of photographs from my grandfathers deployment to RAF Habbaniya Air base in Iraq in 1951 as a munitions officer. I have chosen to replicate the photographs taken of him and re-enact them myself as a form of self identity as my grandfather was one of my biggest influences in life. The original images range from images of him in scenes of leisure to him in uniform operating machinery such as munitions lorries etc.
Below are the original pre-edit images of my grandfather taken in Iraq. The images are yellowed with age so I am looking to convert them to black and white for usage in my project to give them a rejuvenated look and feel.
Despite not being in the Air Force myself or being based in Iraq, I have attempted to recreate these images as best as I can using locations and environments available to me in Jersey, focusing primarily on the poses and body positioning of my Grandfather as well as backdrop. For example in the below image, My grandfather is stood in front of a shack with a low roof. I decided to find a similar building and photograph myself in a similar pose to my Grandfather as shown below.
While my recreated version of the above image features the roof slanting the opposite way to the image with my grandfather, I find that rather than flip the image so that my image matches the one of my grandfather in terms of composition, I shall keep my recreated image as it is due to the fact that both images will be opposite each other, essentially creating a mirror image as such as detailed in the image below

My personal investigation will focus on the attatchment and bond that I have to the people in my life, and places I associate with memories or themselves. I will be focusing on the strengths of relationships, my parents have a very healthy and harmonious which I believe influences the healthiness of my relationship with my boyfriend. I will be investigating the complexity of families, my mothers side of the family is very close, they're from the north of England which tends to have large families. My fathers side however is a lot more cold and detatched, however, as time has passed some family members such as my grandfather hav realised that time is precious,leading him to try to rekindle relationships. On the topic of relationships, I want to focus on the vulnerabilities of relationships. I want to focus of the vulnerabilities of me and my parents, me and my siblings and me and my boyfriend. To capture images of my family, friends and boyfriend I will be using a realism approach. Realism is more documentative photography. I believe this will be the most suitable approach to capture my family as I want to capture certain moments of time. I shall also be including archival images into my personal study for example a photo of me and my family at Greve de Lecq beach as a child. That moment in time is a monumental image that has stuck with me. That image is a realism image and I want to revisit Greve de Lecq to display my attatchment to the place and the memories associated with it. I am also going to focus on particular places that I associate with certain people and memories. One of my photoshoots will be a visit to Greve De Lecq beach as I associate it with a certain moment in time when I visited it with my family. I want to take photos of the sea as when I think of that memory I can hear the sound of the ocean and see it roll up onto the shore. To take these images I will have a slow shutter speed which will make the see look creamy and frothy. This will be a pictorialist approach which I think is suitable as although this is a clear m,emory, there are some parts that I don't remember as it was so long ago. I also want a pictorialist approach as I always paint the memory as an incredibly happy memory, so the dreamy photographic approach will reflect this.
