typology shoot

For this shoot I decided to take pictures of the different towers in Jersey. The towers were built between 1808-1814 and between 1834-1837. Bellow you can my final images that I have placed together to give more of the effect. I have added them in colour as well as black and white as most of Bernd and Hilla Becher’s image are in black and white. Overall I like how my images turned out as I think it looks similar to my inspirations images. However, If I were to retake these image I may choose a different topic to photograph as not all of the towers are the same as some have been built around or painted, and some are not accessible anymore as they are on private land etc. This meant that couldn’t get as close to some as I could to others meaning the towers are at different distances in the images which is a key part of the Becher’s images. Also they didn’t quite match my inspirations as all of my images were taken at different time of the day. In my images in colour you can see that a few of them have the sunset in the background and others have blue sky, some brighter than others. However in black and white I don’t think it is as noticeable. I am pleased with my images but think that they could be improved next time.
