Images by Lewis Baltz – Inspiration for photoshoot

Photoshoot Plan

For this photoshoot, I am going to go to for a walk around St Brelade, mainly the area near the old Les Quennevais School, and try to find similar scenes to the ones featured in Baltz’s photographs. I am then going to make these images monochrome and edit them as little as possible in order to keep them natural and present the landscapes truthfully.

My Images in B&W

I edited these images in Lightroom Classic by making them B&W then increasing the contrast. For most of these images I also slightly cropped and rotated them.

Virtual Gallery/Evaluation

I believe that my images share some similarities but also have differences towards Lewis Baltz’s work. For example, they are similar as they display many straight edges and man-made structures such as doorways and walls. Some of these photos also depict man-made structures with plants and natural elements, alike Lewis Baltz. On the other hand, I think my photographs are different to Lewis Baltz’s in terms of locations as it wasn’t very easy for me to find many warehouses or buildings like what he depicts as Jersey is quite different to America.
