I am planning to take photos to achieve the industrial side of Jersey as many of the New Topographics are highly based around that. I am aiming to take photos of various locations such as Pier Road Carpark, La Collette, and The Old.. These are similar locations that I can find that link closely to the New Topographics in Jersey,

Image Selection

I carefully went through each individual image and colour coded them red, yellow and green to help highlight the best images when I edit them in photoshop. This is convenient as it minimises time-loss from searching through each image to select my favourites. As I went through these photos, I noticed a reoccurring pattern where the images were not clear as I moved the camera before I took the image, leading to a imprecise image.

Best Images

The following images are my best images for this photoshoot, as I used Lightroom to select them and I uploaded each one to Photoshop. Once I uploaded them, I enhanced the levels and brightness of each image as I felt they would look dull otherwise. Some of the images I decided to make black and white, since the New Topographics had photos only in black and white, so I wanted to have that similarity in some of them. I also managed to include a photo of the street like Stephen Shore did in his images, as that was a key part of his photography.

This last image reminded me of a New Topographic image, as the photo looks plain and generic, like a lot of the images. I also edited this in monochrome colours, to replicate those photos. They also used a dead-pan aesthetic, with a rejection of emotion so I ensured that I did the same, since there is no emotion happening.
