Here is a contact sheet with some of my images I have used the 5 star rating system to show the better images that relate to the identity of the island.
the artist reference I have chosen is Andy Le Gresley who is most famous for his landscape photography based around Jerseys coast lines and land marks. this shoot was inspired by him to show the identity of the island through the different experiences it has been through.
I went L’Etacquerel fort , it was built in 1836 to prevent French from landing near the east side of Bouley. now this fort is a symbol of a stage of the islands life that has past now.
This image shows where one of the traversing gun platforms this. I increased the shadows to create a darker sense to the image to represent a when the had to fight to protect this island.
Andy Le Gresley took this image which as a full frame of Grosnez castle, which was built in 1330 and commission for the farmers to take rescue in event of French invasion. so his image shows the heritage of jersey through this image. I like that he has taken this image from a lower point of view with the pink in the foreground.
this is a full frame of the full fort. I decreased the tint to bring out the green that has over taken the walls of the fort to represent the islands growth since it was no longer needed.
