Ansel Adams inspired

photo my images are inspired by:

A small portion of my photos were taken in France and I think they are linked with Ansel Adams quite because of the use of his mountain photos.

Colour to Black & White:

I edited these images on photoshop by going to adjustments and then black & white. from there, I was able to adjust the different colours with the scale. this meant that I could make some parts of the photo look darker and some look lighter. i like the ones where the snow is very clear and visible because it means i could have a very bright white which would be considered a rating of 10 on Ansel Adam’s Zone System.

Final Images

Storm Damage:

For this photoshoot, the focus was on the storm that hit the island in November 2023. the impact of strong winds resulting in a tornado reached speeds up to 186mph and resulted in major damage to jerseys homes and nature. thousands of trees were downed or damaged, a lot of attractions were closed due to the impacts and most importantly people lost homes.

My photoshoot was focussed in St Clements where the storm hit badly and my focus was on the trees that were damaged but I also took some of various buildings. I focussed on forest areas such as La Blinerie which is a lane that is along side the golf course. I also photographed some of the golf damage as well.

I think I could’ve done better by going further around the island for damaged as I only focussed on where I live so I didn’t get all the damage. I think also it would’ve benefitted me if I had taken the photos earlier on as by the time I began taking photos, the damage had already began being cleared.
