From October 2022, I began an internship working at the Société Jersiaise photographic archives, a local charity dedicated to preserving Jersey’s photographic history, assisting in digitising their collection of photographs from a variety of eras and photographers.

They had an extensive collection of autochrome images which show Jersey’s contributions to the photographic world.

While working, I was tasked with helping to digitise a collection of colour film slides, documenting the fauna and flora of the island. These images were taken by Roger and Margaret Long, and blur the lines between science and art, with vivid colours and and interesting subject matters. These had an influence on my work throughout this project, inspiring me to branch out into more abstract and colourful imagery.
