My portraits from Hamptonne, I lightened and edited the images to make them look warmer and softer looking.

As a class we took a trip to the Jersey Museum to take a look at their exhibition- “People, Power, Protest”, which looks at the history of protest on the island. One of the earliest subjects is The Jersey Corn Riots, a historic event where farmers on the island protested about food shortages and the increasing price of wheat. This event has paved the way for Jersey’s democratic journey, and recently had its 250th anniversary.

Other subjects were Apartheid, LGBTQ rights, and BLM, giving the exhibition a more contemporary view. Downstairs they also had an exhibit looking at the history of the island, with information on Neolithic times, Farming and Tourism. This allowed for a large range of imagery.

My Images-

Walker Evans

Walker Evans was an American photographer who mainly focused on documenting the effects of the great depression however he also produced some still life images using tools which he published in a portfolio named ‘Beauties of the common tool’. in 1955.

Darren Harvey-Ragen

Darren Harvey-Ragen was another still life photographer who was known for taking more abstract images of sculptures positioned on a solid white background while both Walker and Darren photograph still life Walkers images are very consistent as the objects are always centred and taken from an above angle without shadows, while Darren uses a landscape approach and plays with angles and shadows in his images.

What am I photographing?

For this photoshoot I will be taking portraits photos of people in their working environments

How am i going to produce the images (lighting / equipment etc)?

I will be using just my cannon DSLR camera and possibly my phone camera with no extra lighting tools
