Photoshoot Plan

We are going on another photography trip and during this trip we will be doing another 2 photoshoots, one at Victoria Pier and the other to La Collette Yacht Basin. Additionally, we will be visiting the Jersey Maritime Museum. My plan for these photoshoots are the same as the previous 2, however I would also like to try and get more Abstract shots.

Here I used the brush tool to increase the exposure and highlights in this area so that the boat is more visible.

I then put this image in B&W and increased the contrast as I think it looks more effective and best highlights the details in the rope.

Mock-Up One

Cover Page

I wanted my cover page to be in black and white so that I could tell a story through my work, having the last page being in colour. Almost like watching a film turn to colour. I have also chosen this title because I think that my story portrays Jerseys trade and the way people communicate to carry that out.

Page Spread 1

I want my first page spread to keep with the black and white theme like a story line. I wanted to include 2 images for contrast between modern and old ways of trade and fishing. I also wanted to include some text as an almost introduction to portray the story that I am trying to tell.

Page Spread 2

I wanted to have a page with just images to leave some things to peoples imagination before I add some text explaining what I am portraying. I wanted to allow people to have their own guess, but I have already interpreted in their minds a nostalgic/historic feeling due to the black and white elements and old brick building’s which have connotations of history.

Page Spread 3

I wanted my next double page to ease into colour, using a colour popping image to smoothly move into a modernist time. I wanted to still include some text to be able to explain the contrast and my reasoning why. I wanted my image to be big so that it would mostly catch someone’s eye.

Page Spread 4

I wanted to continue with the text to further explain and give people some facts about changes within the harbour to make it what it is today. I also wanted to include signage that says ‘goodbye’ because I wanted to shift peoples gaze and thoughts onto a different element of the harbour.

Page Spread 5

I wanted this page to have a massive contrast, a massive jump in time scale. I have included a lot of text so that I can really explain what I am doing and give a true meaning of out harbour today and why these things are so important.

Page Spread 6

I wanted my last double page to include only images. I wanted to leave things to the imagination.

Last Page

I wanted my final page to be a landscape side image. I wanted people to have to move my zine to see it in the way that they want.

Organising the photos

I had a gorgeous image of the steam clock down at the harbour. Where there is a load of negative space in the top left corner which would be nice to put the title in. I bleed the image over the border to completely fill the page as it is one of my best photos as well it was an obvious choose to go as the cover page.

I tried to place this portrait next to the image of the dog, keeping the image of the dog small as to over shadow the meaningfulness of the portrait.

However, this didn’t work so I mover the dog to the next page. I toyed with the idea of putting a quote in the blank page, but I like the way all the focus is on the portrait.

For this one I spread this one I spread the image over two pages to highlight the in focus part of the photo, I tried to bleed the image over the edge. However, it cropped it too much and didn’t seem quit right, so I kept the white border.

I decided to try placing two images on one pages, as seen below. on the page can be see a pair of waders and a tied off cleat.

I then decided I hated this and removed image of the cleat completely. I then shrunk both images and lined then up on each page so they were then centred.

However, having both images small and centre looked an little clunky so enlarged the image of the waders.

Title

I wanted to keep the title simple. I settled on ‘St Helier harbour.’ This was an nice choice as it is broad and covers all images.

I lined the title up so it sat in the centre of all the negative space I placed it on its side so it ran upwards with the chimneys and the mast. and placed my name underneath.

I chose a font that was reminiscent of a typewriter as it sat nicely with the angles on the front cover image.
