What you want to explore?

Next I would like to work more in depth on landscape (seascape) as the ocean really inspires me to take images whenever there is a storm or big swell. Jersey coasts are a great area to capture this sort of imagery as the stormy seas cross over from the Atlantic ocean. I would like to explore taking images from different perspectives, angles, day light, and quality. I feel as if seascapes is a good theme to focus my future projects on as living in jersey its easy access to coasts.

Why it matters to you?

I would like to photograph the ocean as its a major part of Jerseys identity. This is because not only is the island shaped by erosion caused by rising sea levels over thousands of years, But the beauty that is found with the stunning scenery on beaches is all thanks to the huge tidal ranges we have every day. In fact Jerseys tidal ranges are known to be so significantly big that they are recorded to be in the top 10 biggest tides in the world.

How you wish to develop your project?

Firstly with looking at local seascape photographers work I will manage blog posts with artist references, mood boards, analysis etc. I want to gather together a load of contact sheets of different areas in jersey that receive the most swell from either a big tide or storm. I also want to capture erosion in action, such as sets of waves smashing into cliff faces or walls. I feel as if doing this will make it an easy link to jerseys identity physically.

When and where you intend to begin your study?

I intend to begin my study in the west side of the island where most swell is built up. Examples of areas I wish to visit to photograph are… st.ouens bay, plemont, grev, corbiere, stinky bay… After a few photoshoots and more research about Jerseys seas, I would like to put together a photo book relevant to whatever inspires me the most when physically taking the images.
