I’m going to take photos in my grandads favourite locations when he used to come and visit the island, I’m taking images of the scenery and then taking restaged images using my dad as the subject so re creating images that were taken years ago in the specific locations

This is my photoshoot plan for my final piece, I’m going to use images that I’ve taken from my grandads favourite places when he used to visit the island and also re stage images using my dad in the photos. Originally I was going to take photos of still life and change them into black and white but I couldn’t think of a way to link the images together so the idea changed.

The locations I’m going to go

I’m going to go to 5 different locations for this photoshoot St Brelade’s bay, La Mare Vineyard, Gorey Pier, St Ouens bay and Corbierre lighthouse. I’m going to these specific locations because these are the places where my grandad loved the most when he visited and where his favourite places on the island where.

When and Why

I’m going to these locations when the lighting is at dusk when its not dark outside but the sunlight is starting to fade and when the sun is setting to get the light perfect for the shoots I’m trying to achieve. I’m going to these locations because they were the most important to my grandad and they hold memories that are the most powerful to recreate, I’m going to use my dad as the subject for the images to replace the space in the images where my grandad was.

Concept

My concept for the photoshoot is to go to these specific locations but then to also take the restaged images and edit them in photoshop and change the opacity of the images and my dad to show that he was fading away and that he isn’t really there in the images like it was his ghost.
