I took these images over two separate shoots, one with a friend as my subject, and the second with myself where I had set up a tripod and self timer so that I am still in control of my images. They were both taken at Howard Davis Park, a central spot in Jersey’s town centre, where many people pass through every single day. It had a range of spots that I could use to take pictures, so we moved about, trying a couple of different places. My goal was to reflect how my subject’s personality and clothing was different to the environment she lives in and how this represents the multicultural nature of Jersey nowadays.

KEY- red= no, orange=possible, green=definitely

FINAL SELECTION-

I chose these images because they are all centred on the subject as the main focal point of the image, like my reference artist Hassan Hajjaj’s work, they all have a cohesive colour palette according the the clothes each person is wearing and their background, and they all have the subject in a natural pose that reflects how they are at home in their environment, even if it does not reflect their identity completely, as I intended to do from the beginning.

Now, to edit these images I am going to make them brighter and bring out all the colours, as well as create a frame around each image representing their cultural identity.
