What you want to explore?
I would like to explore motoring on jersey. Including motorsport such as sprints, trials, rally and sand racing. Additionally i would like to explore the vehicles on Jerseys roads.
Why it matters to you?
Motorsport is a large part of jerseys culture in recent years. There are many different events of all different styles taking place all year round. These include; Rally, Trials, Motocross, Sprints and sand racing. I am a huge fan of motorsport and vehicles in general so i would like to explore this topic as i find it very exiting and interesting. Additionally, i have relatives and close friends who are involved in motoring whose garages and workshops i could go photograph.
How you wish to develop your project?
I would like to create a Photobook containing images from upcoming motoring events as well as images of my friends and relatives vehicles as well and their workshops.
When and where you intend to begin your study?
There are some upcoming motorsport events including Trials on the 11th of December in greve de leque woods.. Sprints on the 30th of December on the 5 mile road. I also have images that i took from the jersey rally 2022. Additionally, I ride a motorcycle. Often me and my friends all go out on rides around the island. I think that this would be a great opportunity to take some photos that would show my passion for motoring even though i cannot be part of official motorsports events.
Remember we discussed movement and experimenting with shutter speed as part of your project. You must make more effort and commitment
Find some photographers who explore movement
Historical context: Chronophotography
Key early image makers, Etienne Julie Marey and Edweard Muybridge, Human and Animal Locomotion
– chapters in books I showed you
Begin to make images of motorsport yourself in responses to your research and analysis above, experiment in camera with fast/ slow shutter speeds, single/ multiple exposures, single/ continuous motor drive (setting on camera)
Another historical photographer is Frenchman Henri Lartigue who began to photograph cars, motorsport and movement at the beginning of 20th century
