PHOTOSHOOT #1

My first photoshoot involved going to a derelict hotel and taking photographs of anything that interested me- when doing this photoshoot I kept Jeff Wall’s “The Destroyed Room” in my head as immediate inspiration however as Wall’s image was staged I struggled to find rooms which were not empty and had the depth that Wall’s image had.

PHOTOSHOOT #2

My second photoshoot involved walking through St Helier, St Clements and St Johns to find images more connected to a new topographics subject- so houses and buildings with a banal aesthetic which remind me of Joel Sternfeld’s work. This photoshoot ended up being a lot smaller than the first one as I realised I wanted to explore the nature of derelict buildings and abandonment instead of new topographics- using Joel Sternfeld’s colour aesthetics in my work.
