Landscape Photography is a broad genre where the landscape is the main subject of the image. Often, landscapes don’t have any people in them at all, although they are sometimes included to give the viewer a sense of scale. The sub-genres include urban landscape, long exposure, nature, astrophotography, and seascape photography.

PHOTOSHOOT MOODBOARD 1 – COASTAL LANDSCAPES

PHOTOSHOOT PLAN

I plan to get to different sites of interest around Jersey CI to capture different elements of romanticism and the sublime in the modern day. These places include those encircled on the map above. Typical times to take photos are at dawn and dusk to attempt to get sunset and sunrise images, but I would also like to get images on Sunday 20 November at 15:39, high tide. With the weather forecasting winds at about Force 6, I should hopefully get images of harsh waves at St Ouen’s Bay and maybe alongside a dramatic background of dark and foreboding clouds. With sunrise being at 07:27, images out in the east of the island alongside a slightly cloudy sunset could produce mesmerising images. I would end the day in the west of Jersey at 17:00 after sunset as there wouldn’t be much light to capture photos at night. I would take a walk around each of these sites and simply get images whilst moving around. Each photograph will be taken at a different angle and with different settings, perhaps adapting the depth of field or brightness of the final outcomes. By doing so I will have hopefully been able to capture the sublime, whilst incorporating some aspects of the romanticist genre.
