I want to explore my grandads life and his favourite places in jersey from when he used to come and visit. I’m going to restage the images I have of him in his favourite places and then use my dad to restage the image to recreate the memory. I’m going to 5 different locations that were his favourite when he visited jersey. The places I’m going to go are St Brelades Bay, Gorey Pier, El Ticos, Corbiere lighthouse, La Mare vineyard. This matters to me because these are the places that hold the most memories for me with my grandad and they are the places where he was the happiest when he visited. I’m going to develop my project by taking images of the places I’m going and then also take restaged images with my dad in it, and then choosing the images that capture those important memories the most. I want to create a photobook for my images and I want to put a big picture of one of his favourite places on the front cover of the book, I also want to create some A4 and A3 prints of some of the scenery photos that I take to show some of the development and to just get some of the best images I have made printed for my portfolio. I’m taking images this weekend for all 5 of the photoshoots for the favourite places and then I’m also going to take the restaged images at all 5 different places as well as the images of the actual landscape itself. I want to take the images at these specific locations because they capture the most important times I knew him in my life, but they also capture some of the important times in his life that he spent here with me and my family.
