I decided to use Carolle Benitah’s work as inspiration to showcase the theme of geographical identity, with images taken around Jersey and people who’s families are not originally from here, like most people who live in Jersey, and have moved from various places. With this I aim to express how this one small island has brought together a wide range of identities that have been sculpted by different cultures, accents and beliefs into one place we all call home.
Photo-Shoot One

Here I have crossed out images in red that are not good enough to edit or use for my final pieces, as they are either too blurry, or under or over exposed. I have also highlighted images in green the photographs I believe will work well for my final pieces, due to the quality, variation in people and poses, and representation of the rural side of Jersey.
Photo-Shoot Two

Here I have crossed out images in red that are not good enough to edit or use for my final pieces, as they are either too blurry, or under or over exposed. I have also highlighted images in green the photographs I believe will work well for my final pieces, due to the quality and representation of the urban side of Jersey.
Initial Image Selection
For my photographs which will later be edited into my final pieces, I chose four images from each photo-shoot to give a balanced view of the island. I believe that these are my best images and will work well when edited in the style of Carolle Benitah, as they display backgrounds that clearly represent the identity of Jersey, as the subjects will represent their own.
Map Images
I took at least two map images for each of the subjects featured in my photographs which display the place where their families came from before moving to jersey. I am doing this as I believe that Jersey is built from people who originate from all over and have many different backgrounds, allowing for our island to be diverse in culture and history.
