MOOD BOARD+ MIND MAP

I made a mind map and mood board for the topic that I chose fo my personal study is on, which is Bouley Bay. This is because I live close to it, and I feel that there is a lot of history that be explore and because it is a landscape that has a wide variety of features I can use lots of photographic techniques to capture the bay.

STATE OF INTENT

My idea is to make a photobook in which I explore the area Bouley Bay, overall I want to capture the activity, views, and close ups of key feature such as rocks, shells, heritage, the hill climb, and the bay. I could also look into the history of the bay and the Jersey Folklore, involving the Black Dog.

It is important to me as I grew up in that area, and have many memories of it. And I hope to capture it in the same way in which remember it.

I wish to develop my project by exploring the bay and collecting lots of objects to photograph in a studio, and also to take long exposure, aerial, and underwater of the bay, as I have been inspired by many photographers, such as, Martin J Patterson (@ mjplandscapes on Instagram), Jaun Munoz (@ drjuanmdc on Instagram), and David Aguilar (@ davidaguilar_photo). Using these images I can look into topics such as, beach pollution, environment and beach life. Hanna-Katrina Jędrosz and Barron Bixler have studied environments, so it would be interesting to analyse them and their work.

FIRST PHOTO SHOOT PLAN

My first photoshoot, I will go down to Bouley at Sunset when it’s not cloudy and high-tide, and take long exposure photos using a tripod, and some neutral density filters.
