PLAN
I plan to visit a local seaside town, this is because even after my experimental shoot 1, I really enjoyed taking images of the environment around me, if thats natural or man-made. But I quite like the in-between. The seaside, even after researching the photographer Marc Wilson and Carl De Keyzer, this inspired me even more to shoot this place and idea.
My thoughts are to shoot street style, but also artistic at the same time. Looking for patterns, shapes, lines, textures, reflection and even moments of the life of the locals (fisherman).
LOCATION
My chosen seaside town is Deal, Kent, and I will be taking the images on the weekend. Deal is mostly known for its fishing and mining past. Still, some of the remanence left behind could be interesting to photograph. Especially the pier, its pier is the home of local and family fishers, this is why I’m going on a weekend because the town and pier become busier and full of life.
EQUIPMENT
I will be using a Canon camera, along with bringing two lenses. One is the standard Canon lens and the other being the 70 – 300mm lens. In the last shoot (experimental shoot 1) bringing the 70 – 300mm, did come in handy in some shots, so thats why I’ve chosen to retake the lens.

AFTER
THIS IS THE SAME EDITING PROCESSES AS BEFORE IN THE EXPERIMENTAL SHOOT 1. I LIKE HOW THEY TURN OUT SO, I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, AS THIS LOCATION HAS A LOT MORE BLUE WITHIN IT.
RESULTS
When I got to Deal, I wasn’t sure if I made the right choice in location, but in the end, it worked out better than expected. Some of the photos above stand out more than others. I didn’t have as many final images as the Pegwell Bay shoot, but I think I managed to get some great photos. I did try to convert some into black & white, but I felt that it lost the liveliness and story of the environment that surrounds. I would want to go back to the location on a similar day, and weather and try to get more images of people, like the fisherman.
When showing this shoot to fellow peers, one of their favourites (and mine), was the boy hugging his dad. It was almost like the barrier between the rods is their space. This was taken while going off the pier and thought it would make a charming image. The images have warmth, from the boy hugging his dad, but also the bonding experience between the two shows the character of this environment.
