What do you want to explore?
I want to explore the club and youth culture in Jersey. I want to explore this because as a part of the youth in Jersey I want to be able to express what young 18 year olds experience when they go out into town or to parties during the weekend. I also want to explore this topic because I like to go out and I want to be able to capture the moments of going out whether these images are raw or set up.
Why does it matter to you?
This topic matters to me because I am an 18 year old living in Jersey and being isolated on an island night life is so different here compared to places like England and around Europe. But living in Jersey gives us very different opportunities and lifestyles compared to how living in England would be, for example we get to go to the beach everyday during summer and then be able to go into town or to a party afterwards, whereas, that wouldn’t be a common thing to do in England.
Which form I would like to present my study
I would like to present my photos in a photobook. I want to do this because it will look best presented in a photobook where its like a story and each page has either a new day or event on it, each event separated by a filler image where we are no longer at a party but just drunk or hungover.
When and where I intend to begin my study
I intend to begin my study with a few photoshoots around town and at different parties that I will go to, I want to take window images where they are not set up of the people that I go to the parties with, but I will have 1 set up photoshoot where the images are set up and my friends are acting out about being hungover and drunk, as filler images.
