Identity + Community: Island Identity

As a class we were split into small groups of two and given one of these topics; Constitution & Citizenship, Communities, International, Economy, Education & Sport, Heritage + Culture & the Arts and Environment. As a pair me and Jess got the theme International.

We used the websites provided and did our own research about Jersey’s International Identity.

Our poster:

In relation to the new project Identity and Community, to focus on Jersey’s International identity you could photograph famous sites and views which outsiders see, people who do not live here, but photograph the sites with different POVs. For example what they look like when they are not in their prime, summery, beautiful states. Or you could try and find different POVs in the angles and locations shot at and try and create a new look for that certain landmark because people over seas only see what is presented to them in the best way and it is always the same standard Corbierre picture. However you could also focus on only what outsiders see and capture Jersey through their eyes.
