photoshoot 1:
Eugène Atget shoot-
what: For my first shoot I am going to base it off of Eugene Atget’s work with the theme of old and historical architecture. Once I have collected a set of images I am going to edit them to try and create the same effect on my images that Atget has on his.
when: I am going to take this shoot maybe an hour or so before sunset so that my images have a gloomy effect and they turn out more dull that taking my images in the middle of the day. I want an effect that adds to my image and make it more alike Atget’s as all of his images were taken in monochrome with an old effect to them which I want to try and recreate.
where: For this shoot I am going to go all over the island to find building that are similar to Atget’s. This shoot won’t be my only one on old architecture so I wont worry too much about photographing every old building but just the ones that are similar to Atget’s.
why: I have chosen to do this as my first shoot as I wat my project to start in this place as I want to show the evolution of architecture so I think starting at older building is a good place to begin.
how: For this shoot and most of my other shoots I am going to use a digital camera and for some images I may use a tripod to ensure that my images are straight and are focused/steady to produce a good quality image.
photoshoot 2:
east side of the island-
what: For my second shoot I am going to focus it on buildings located on the east side of the island as that is where I live. This may include buildings that I have a connection to or ones that show how architecture has changed.
when: For this shoot I will take my images at around noon so that there is good lighting and it makes the building be the main focus point and is clear.
where: As this shoot is based on the east side of the island I am going to focus on architecture in St Cements, Grouville, St Martins and maybe St Saviours.
why: As I live in the East side of the Island I think that this would be a good place to start as I know the area well as also have connections to some of the buildings in this area.
photoshoot 3:
Ezra Stoller shoot-
what: For my third photo shoot I am going to base it off of Ezra Stoller as his work captures modern architecture which is what part of my personal study is based on. His work includes lots of lines and symmetry so that it what I am going to try and find to capture in this particular photoshoot.
when: I think for this shoot it will look better in day light at noon so that my images are clear and the focus will be on the buildings as opposed to having duller lighting as I don’t think that it would add much to my image.
where: Similar to my shoot inspired by Atget, I am going to start on the East side of the Island but also focus on the style of the buildings to replicate Stoller’s as I will do other modern shoot to add to my study.
why: I have chosen to do this as my third shoot so that I have a beginning and an end with the old and modern buildings. I think that this will help me to realize what kind of images I need more of to develop my project.
