My next series of photographs is going to be a continuation of Faith, Family and Community.

Where I’m going to shoot?

Me and my family are going to the Portuguese island of Madeira. The island, which is situated in the Atlantic ocean has a great deal of tropical places on it. The diverse settings and unique background will make for some intriguing pictures.

Who I want to photograph?

Family that came on holiday with us:

Every year me and my parents travel to madeira in December to enjoy Christmas and the New Year. Accordingly my auntie, uncle and cousin have decided to do so as well. Since we all live in Jersey, it’s common for us to keep in contact and meet up, therefore I know them quite well. When in Madeira, we always arrange to meet up for several occasions. Therefore, I believe that this topic will be good to take pictures off and capture our daily lives.

Family Friends and Strangers from Madeira:

Since I have many family members that have lived in Madeira all their lives, I want to find out more about them and their hobbies.

I only visit them for about 3 weeks every year, so there is a big disconnection period between our lives.

Although I am present with them and get a glimpse of their lives and surroundings, I’d like to deepen my knowledge through the medium of photography.

I want to photograph them going about their lives as usual.

For example, my great-grandmother who still makes ‘Pao De Casa’ (house bread) which is a unique olden-day way of making bread in a stone oven, that’s situated outside.
