urban landscape photography-Photoshoot plan

who, what, where, when, how, why

who: since this project is about urban landscape photography and new topographics, I will want to include some people in some of my shots, to add a natural feel to them. However, I will also take some photos without any people to create a deserted look in them. The people present will most likely all be natural, going abut the day and showing the ways they interact with the environment around them.

what: I will attempt to photograph an abandoned building surrounded by some nature to show the effects they have had on each other through the decades. I will also want to photograph different areas around town, such as older roads and buildings.

where: I will go around St. Helier to create some photos of the older and more modern structures around town. I will also find a more remote location including some kind of abandoned structure to photograph.

when: I will take a my photos at a range of different times to capture the effect light has on the environment, especially buildings. I will take some pictures at around noon when the day is brightest to capture detailed pictures of different buildings and some during the night using a slow shutter speed to photograph the dimly lit buildings.

how: I will use a tripod (especially when going out at night) to take the low exposure and slow shutter speed photos. I will also use a range of techniques such as exposure bracketing to create a wide range of photos with different exposures.

why: I think this way will be a good way of taking photos that capture the industrial landscapes we have in Jersey. The dramatic weather and different times will create a interesting selection of images.
