The Photoshoot:

In the contact sheet above I have presented my photographs with a selection taken in the New north key, old harbour and Victoria pier where a fishing activity is mostly centred there (some photos display “English Port, the “French Port”. I like how this photoshoot has turned out as I’ve taken pictures of a range of different objects and different contrasting elements like taking pictures of a safety ring to pictures of a picture of the old harbour and how it all used to look like. Taking pictures of different textures was crucial too as it is vey prominent in those certain areas from the soft yellow sand to the rock sea walls of the marina to colourful abandoned boats.

I took photographs around the “Old Harbour” (The English Harbour and The French Harbour have berths “for over 500 motor boats and sailing yachts which generally dry out on the mud at low tide, the abandoned pub, La Folie Inn is also situated here and so is South Pier where you will find marine engineers South Pier Marina and St Helier Yacht Club”).

In terms of the Main Harbour it provides “deep water berths” for commercial vessels which is alongside the Victoria Quay and New North Quay.

On the Victoria Quay you can find fish wholesalers such as “Fresh Fish Company” and “Aquamar Fisheries”. (INSERT PHOTO)

The Albert Pier has been re-developed now from a ferry terminal to new berths for large vessels and yachts as well as  renovating the pontoons in St Helier Marina.

In terms of exposure, I generally had my camera settings on manual exposure and experimented with the different aperture and different angles as both landscapes and portraits were used.

We also had a talk with Doug Ford, a Maritime Historian and former Community Learning Director at Jersey Heritage which discussed with us the history of Jersey’s maritime and other interesting aspects linking it. He took us on a tour around the Old English and French harbour presentd images he had
