My first three photoshoots are based on landscapes within Jersey which relate to legends and myths.

1: Dolmens

I will take photographs of the Dolmens within Jersey, these include the ones in St Andrews park, and Dolmen de Faldouët. I will do this because it is thought that there is a link between dolmens and witches. This is because in Guernsey there is a legend of the devil coming in a form of an animal and standing on top of a rock in a dolmen, it is then thought that witches danced around the dolmen to worship this beast. Therefore I will photograph the dolmens within Jersey.

2: Devil’s Hole

Next I will photograph the Devil’s hole, this is because of the way that it got its name. The story of the Devils hole is:

As winds increase, booming growls and roars emanate from the caverns of the great hole, created by the rush of air and water through the underground passages. The colonists, superstitious in the 17th century, believed the sounds came from the devil himself, so it came to be known as The Devil’s Hole.

3: Gorey Castle

My final landscape based photoshoot will take place at Gorey Castle, also known as Mont Orgueil Castle. I will take photographs outside of the castle, as well as inside of it. This is because Gorey castle holds a lot of Jersey’s witch trial history. This is due to over 60 witch trials taking place in this castle.
