Photoshoot 1

For this photoshoot, it required a trip to St Helier Harbour. We walked around the harbour and took many shots of the view around. Following that, we got a guided tour filled with history of jerseys harbour.

Edited Photos of Jerseys Harbour.

To edit my images, I used Adobe Lightroom classic and adjusted exposure, brightness, contrast, colour balance etc. For all 10 images, I did half in colour to half in black and white. I wanted to go from romanticising the harbour and its ‘beauty'(being shown by the colour) and how Jerseys harbour is advertised now, to getting back to the reality of everyday life and how it was back years ago(being shown by the black and white). For the black and white images, i focused on the presence section of developing my images on adobe Lightroom, this made an older looking effect for these images. For the coloured images, i looked at all the effects and adjusted them, making the colours stand out to attract the eye.

To final down all my images, I went across all the photos, and found all the ones that were very similar. After this, I colour coded them so I could take my zine pictures.

Evaluation

• How successful was your photoshoot?

My photoshoot was pretty successful. I think that having an idea of a final outcome proceeded to having a successful photoshoot. I like all my images, they went exactly how I wanted them too. To develop my photoshoot images from here, I am going to create a 16 page photo-zine in InDesign.

For this photoshoot, we went on a trip to Jerseys Maritime Museum. We walked round the museum capturing interesting things, as well as a talk from Doug Ford.

He taught us a bit about jerseys maritime history and his own experiences.
