In conclusion, I think this project went well for me, however I would’ve been better off completing more photoshoots so I could present a wider range of photos.

My window mount took inspiration from one of my artist references, Bernd and Hilla Becher. Their work on topologies and taking photos of buildings and displaying them in a grid definitely influenced my own work:

Also, I think another of my artist references, Lewis Baltz, influenced my work on the corners of buildings well:

Lastly, my third artist reference was Nicholas Goodden, who completed a minimal photography project in London. I think his images definitely inspired me to take minimal style photos in Jersey when I saw them.

I presented my a5 prints in a 6 photo window mount. I did this by drawing up lines and measuring where to cut out the windows with even gaps between each photo. Then I taped the the photos facing forward, with a pattern of black and white and coloured photos:

I chose to position the images where I did so I could make a pattern between the coloured photos with clear blue skies and contrast them with some black and white photos. The buildings pictured in black and white are also generally older than the coloured photos. I think this creates a deeper effect with Jersey’s newer Waterfront buildings contrasting with the older buildings more central in town, that show the more historical side of the island. Window mounts are good ways to display your work because the black background can compliment your photos.

Another idea I had with my remaining a3 prints was to cut them up like this:

I did this by using spray mount and trimming all my photos

For my third outcome I will use these images and others to create a slideshow/gif. I will centre the corners in the middle of each photo using lightroom / photoshop.

Final outcome using bloggif.com :

For my second outcome I will be printing architectural photos in a4 and a3. These are some of the photos I took at the Waterfront. I kept these ones in colour because the sky was clear blue which goes well with the simplicity of the modern buildings at the Waterfront

I chose to make these next photos in black and white because the sky was cloudy, and the area I was photographing was less colourful than the Waterfront.

One idea I had for this project was to photograph corners of buildings. Photos taken in this way show both sides of the building stretching off, and can sometimes create a shadow effect if the sun is in the right place. I think I captured this shadow effect in this photo:

Here are some more of the photos I took in this style

I am printing these images to create a grid of photos. This will be my final presentation of this idea. It will look like this:

For my second photoshoot I will stay in St Helier, but explore different buildings that are more centred in the town. These buildings will mostly be a lot older than the waterfront buildings, so I am aiming to show the history of some of the architecture right in the centre of St Helier.

Here are a couple examples of what my work might look like:

For my second photoshoot I will go to Rue de Pres trading estate:

I will be taking photos of the industrial buildings in this estate by walking around and seeing which buildings would look good in my project.

Here are some examples of how my work might look like:

Lewis Baltz

Lewis Baltz was an American photographer who focused some of his work on industrial buildings, car parks and apartment blocks.

His images “describe the architecture of the human landscape”

His work also aims to show destruction to nature and how humans can change landscapes.

One of Lewis’ contemporaries is Bernd and Hilla Becher, another 2 artists I am also focusing my artist case studies on. This link can help me in my own project, as I can use both of their work as inspiration for a modern attempt at the project.

Nicholas Goodden

Nicholas is a full time commercial photographer with 15 years of experience. He has had a long list of clients in the past, including Adidas, Peugeot, Amazon and Heineken.

I am focusing on his reflective and symmetrical work:

Taken from his website:

“Now… I cannot speak for others but in my opinion symmetry is key in photography.

Of course it needn’t be present in all photography but it’s hard to deny the strong and positive impact it has on any photograph.

Symmetry seems to satisfy a need within us.”

Nicholas also did a minimal photography project in London:

I will be taking photos similar to this kind of style in Jersey,
