St Helier Harbour Photoshoot

This photoshoot took place around St Helier Marina, pier road, the Old Harbour, Albert Pier, and the English and French Harbours.

Overall I think this photoshoot went well. I managed to capture detailed images of various architecture and a few people at work, as well as various areas of the marina like Albert Pier.

However, I wish I had taken a few more images of the harbour and people at work in order to further develop my ideas and give me a larger variety to work with to tell my story.

I chose to analyse these two images because they show my experimentation with different camera angles, such as deadpan, as well as link well with the theme of modern advancements of the harbour. Both images were taken with natural lighting from the sun in the same weather conditions. Both of them show a range of tones, the architecture in the images is almost completely black compared to the almost white clouds which creates a nice contrast and allows each subject to stand out.

I have related back to one of my inspirations, Ansel Adams, because his work is very dramatic and tells some sort of a story. His work also consists of very detailed and textured images. I wanted to incorporate these elements into my own work because I feel it links back with how drastically the harbour has changed over the years due to modern advancements.
