Stratos Kalafatis
Kalafatis explores the idea of the Aegean Archipelago being a city unto itself. With Spyros documenting the human element, Kalafatis photographed the ships and routes, imbued with memories of his own personal acquaintance and family history. What really sticks out to me is how empty and lonely his images look, while they also show how beautiful islands/ the ocean can be.
How can I use this for influence?
Obviously Jersey is surrounded by the sea, and with so many scenic viewing points available 24/7 for shooting in various times of day there are infinite outcomes for coastal shoots. I also think that by focusing my project towards the coast/ sea I can attempt to portray the element of disconnection that comes with living in Jersey.
