For my personal study I am going to move away from the focus of Government House and focus more on my family and my family’s achieve. When I am away next week, I want to capture images of my family in England as I have a lot more family over there and as my Nan is fallen very ill I want to capture some images of her especially for remembrance. I have a couple younger cousins and a couple my age so it’ll be nice to capture some images of them together. I have gotten inspiration from Sally Mann from her photography of her children. I personally love her style of photographing, as I want to capture some unique images using a black and white effect to make them look more dark and grungy. My younger cousin, Dylan, has white blonde curly hair which is quite wild, this will be interesting to play with as it could look really effective in the outcomes.

I will take pictures from our small road trip also because we’re going on the overnight boat and taking our car to drive up to Birmingham. This will be my sister’s last week with us before she goes travelling for 6-8 months, so I want to capture some nice images of her before she leaves. We’re driving up to the airport before we drive down to the ferry terminal so it will be an emotional journey as I am very close with my sister and don’t want to see her go. I also imagine my mum will be crying at the airport so I would like to take some images of that moment too. I am really hoping my images will portray both happy yet sad emotions throughout my picture story as that is my expected outcome and I find those stories the most effective.
