For this photoshoot, I went to Havre Des Pas and took images of the various landscapes seen around it eg natural and urban. I also took some panoramas of the beach and close ups of various textures seen on a wall. It was quite cloudy whilst I was taking photographs so I had to adjust the exposure and white balance of the camera. Once I had taken my images, I imported them into Lightroom and turned each of my images black and white as seen in Robert Adams work.

These images were inspired by the New Topographics. I think the area of Havre Des Pas successfully shows how mankind has ruined our natural landscapes eg the beach. As by building on the beach, it obscures the beautiful, natural landscape behind it. I think the clouds helped to create that dull, melancholy tone seen in the New Topographics’ images.

I also got to take images of an industrial area (La Collette), giving me even more variety in landscape types. I took pictures of Jersey’s incinerator and waste disposal buildings, which is a complete contrast to the natural landscape seen close by.

This image was inspired by Lewis Baltz. I like how this image looks as you can see a variety in buildings styles. For example, there are newer buildings and older buildings all in the same frame. This emphasises the clear contrast between how building styles have evolved as mankind has. Overall, I like the clarity of the image and I think I managed to successfully recreate the work of Lewis Baltz.

Overall, I like how my images came out as I managed to capture a variety of landscapes all within a small radius. However, one improvement I would make to my images is I would edit the sky in the photographs as due to the clouds, it caused my sky to be a dull, grey colour. I think by adding shade into the sky, it would make my images more interesting to look at as it would give them more depth.
