Shoot 1

For my first shoot I focused on the French and Portuguese quarters, focusing on capturing raw moments and showing their lifestyle and area through my images. In my shoot I wanted to capture a sense of place, character of community and people/portraiture. In my shoot I took around 200 images.

After I did my shoot I then imported my images into light room where I created a Identity and Community folder.
I then went through all my images from my first shoot and flagged the images I want to use by holding shift and using the (p) pick and (x) reject buttons. My aim was to end up with a maximum of half of my images flagged. After flagging my best images, I then rated my images out of 5 so I could focus on my best images.

Here are all my selected images from my first shoot.

Above is just 2 of my edited images, with their before and after comparison to show how I edited them.

Analyse:

I like the overall outcome of my edited images from my first shoot. I decided to use a mixture of black white and coloured images as I felt not all my images would suit black and white and some of my images had lots of colour in it so I wanted to enhance that. I created my images with the view of representing different cultures within Jersey that aren’t just British. Jersey has a huge range of cultures within the island and I wanted to capture this by visiting different cultural spots.
I decided to include environmental portraits of residents of Jersey as it added a personal and visual aspect to my shoot. I photographed people of different cultures, jobs and occupations. This also represented the different jobs within the island and the lady representing the main occupation in Jersey.

Second shoot

For my second shoot I went around the British expats/wealthy residents.

I then repeated what I did within the first shoot and imported and flagged all my chosen images within lightroom.

I then went through all my flagged images and straightened them up, changed the curve, and changed the tones and exposures on all the images to make them a stronger image.

With my second shoot I took a more landscape and environmental shoot focusing on smaller details, like the flags hanging out someones flat window. I focused in on the smaller details of Jersey and the hidden away buildings and objects. I liked looking at different sequences and the colours within this shoot. I wanted to take a different approach to my second shoot to create a different collection of images.
