Contact Sheets

This is the contact sheet I created for this photoshoot in Lightroom Classic. I used colours as a filtering system; red for photos I won’t use/ won’t edit, yellow for photos I might come back to and edit and blue for photos I will definitely edit or have already edited. I also removed some photos from the contact sheet which I didn’t think would be any use at all.

SELECTING MY IMAGES

Here I selected what images seemed within the aesthetic of New Topographics. Some images seemed out of focus and therefore are marked red, some images are also marked red due to people accidentally being in the image. I took these pictures at Harve De Pas, the industrial and recycling around Fort Regent and some in town on King street. The photos seem to fit the aesthetic with the older designs and engravements on the houses. In King street there are many buildings that have brick coloured design such as Coffee Republic so it gives a more nostalgic feeling to the image.

MY BEST IMAGES:

Below is a collection made up of a small number of images I have taken on different occasions, some in Athens, Greece from this October half term and others more recently around Jersey. I plan to take more in the coming week however as there really aren’t many here.

All together i believe i did well in this photo shoot, i understood the task that was set and the outcomes of the photos came out really well.

Robert Adams is an American photographer born in 1937 in New Jersey. He is perhaps most famous for his sarcastic portrayal of human damage to the Midwest through his deadpan compositions.

Adams started out as an English professor, learning photography in his spare time using his 35mm reflex camera purchased in 1963.

He has since released multiple books, most important being The New West, as it epitomises the New Topographic style.

Here is an analysis of one of his most famous images.

“I think if you placed me almost anywhere and gave me a camera you could return the next day to find me photographing. It helps me, more than anything I know, to find home.” – Robert Adams

I was thinking, one of my many spots I could go to is at the top of fort region, It shows a lot of what has been built on the island.

even round areas like St.Clements, or Gorey, as that area has a big contrast between modern and historical, which is good as it could show a timeline of jersey from what it was to now.

as those areas aren’t as easily accessible for me, possibly my last resort would be along the edge of town. In my opinion it looks very suburban, with all the houses in a line along the sea front it looks similar to the images captured by Robert Adams.

Flagging my images from the shoot, to take away any blurry or images I do not like. Doing this helps to choose out your best images to edit and use as final images.
