I started off by making a mock-up on Powerpoint.
I then colour-coded the images I used and cropped them.
I then made this joiner in Photoshop.
After finishing putting this joiner together in Photoshop, I changed the brightness and contrast of each of the images. I also added another image fragment to the bottom left.
I made a few more small tweaks and this is my final result:
I also made a version using Gaussian Blur:

I didn’t originally plan on this photoshoot, however, when I was taking photos of St Aubin’s harbour I thought it would be a good idea to take photos of the hill on the other side as I thought it looked good. This will also create a further sense of Unity in my work as the subjects of my joiners all link.
Camera Settings
I used Shutter Priority with an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1/800.

I started off this joiner by, once again, creating a mock-up on Powerpoint.
I then selected the images in Lightroom and cropped them so that they were the same.
I exported these images into Photoshop and formed my joiner.
I then changed the brightness, contrast and exposure of each of the segments separately to get my final result:
Photoshoot Plan
For this photoshoot, I wanted to create a joiner of St Aubin’s Harbour. I wanted to do this photoshoot as I thought it would link well to my previous two joiners, creating unity in my work.

For this photoshoot, I used Shutter Priority with an ISO of 100 and shutter speed of 1/800.

I started off by making a mock-up again on Powerpoint. After finishing this mock-up, I decided that I wanted to make the final image a square as the photos matched up at the edges.
I then selected the images I used and cropped them in Lightroom.
After this, I opened them in Photoshop and formed my joiner.
I then added a Gaussian Blur to some of the image fragments.
After this, I altered the brightness, contrast and exposure of each of the images to get my final result.
This is my final joiner:
Photoshoot Plan
For this photoshoot, I wanted to get many images of the Steam Clock in St Helier to create a joiner. I thought that this would be a good subject for a joiner as it is a landmark at the marina which reflects Jersey’s long association with the sea. This relates to ‘Union’ as Jersey’s economy was built from its maritime history. This maritime history also created unity amongst islanders and with the countries they traded with.
Camera Settings
For this photoshoot, I used an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1/640 so that my images wouldn’t be over-exposed.

I started off my joiner by creating a mock-up using a powerpoint slide again. I used the images which I had colour-coded as green in Lightroom.
I then made sure to colour-code each image I had used in blue and then I cropped each of these images as to how they were in the joiner.
I then exported these images and inserted them into Photoshop. I used these images to form my joiner, imitating the mock-up I had made.
I then individually edited the image segments, changing their brightness and contrast. I decided that for this joiner I didn’t want to add any blur like my last one as I want it to be more of a landscape image than an abstract one.
This is my final joiner:
I would like to also make this joiner by hand so I separated the images on 2 separate A3 sheets in Photoshop so that the images can be printed to the right size. When I make this by hand, I will be able to just cut these images out then stick them down together.
Photoshoot Plan
For this photoshoot, I wanted to capture Gorey Castle and the buildings below it to create a photo joiner. I thought that this would be a good subject for a photo joiner as castles can relate to ‘Union’ in many ways. Some ways in which Gorey Castle relates to the theme of ‘Union’ is that it was built for defence and soldiers would work in unity to defend against the French invasion. Gorey Castle is also a historical landmark in Jersey as it was the Island’s primary fortress until being replaced by Elizabeth Castle in the 16th century.
Camera Settings
Since it was a very sunny day when I took these photos, I used an ISO of 100 and a fast shutter speed.

I started off by creating a new document on Photoshop, an A3 landscape sheet. I had also opened all the images in Photoshop which I set as green in Lightroom.
I then made a quick mock up of how I would like my joiner to look before any photos have been edited. I made this using Adobe PowerPoint.
For each of the images I used for this mock up, I colour coded them as blue in Lightroom Classic so that it will make my process easier.
I then cropped each of the images in Lightroom to be the same as how they were on the PowerPoint slide.
I then opened these images in Photoshop and organised them like how I did on PowerPoint.
After making sure I liked how the images were laid out, I began to individually edit each of the images. I also added a gaussian blur to some of the images and a motion blur to the guy on the bicycle.
I then began to alter this even more until I was happy with it.
This is my final joiner:
Photoshoot Plan
For this joiner, I would like to photograph La Fregate. I think this would be a good subject for a photo joiner as it is a well known place on the island. I also think that this will be a good location as lots of families go there so I can incorporate photos of families and of people spending time together in my joiner. Ultimately, this joiner will link to the theme of Union as La Fregate is a place where people come together to spend time with family and friends.
Camera Settings
For this photoshoot, I set my camera to shutter priority, an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1/80. After now looking at these images, I think that I probably could have adjusted these settings as some shots are over-exposed and some are out of focus. This won’t matter too much however for my joiner as I would like to make some of the images blurred and some more exposed than others.
