New Topographics is photographing a man-altered landscape that contrasts modern development with natural landscapes. This development can be seen in many places in Jersey, especially La Collet.

La Collette in the 1900s

The evolution of modern development has taken over this area of Jersey over time, which is shown in my photoshoot that I did there. This growth is what photographers such as Robert Adams and Stephen Shore tried to raise awareness about through their photography. This is what I attempted to recreate in my photoshoot to show how the nature and landscape has dramatically changed over a short amount of time due to modern development.
