Christmas holiday plan

I have decided that I would like to carry on with my personal study, about my grandparents and continue to photograph them over the Christmas holiday. I really like theme of ‘Eternal Love’ between a married couple who have been together for fifty one years. I aim to carry on photographing them in their daily routines and creating portraits of them  in their different environments eg; at home, in the car, at church ect. I am very close to my Grandparents therefor I am able to photograph them intimately and give insight into the photographs. The main theme I have chosen for my project is Eternal Love which I think my grandparents have for each other, therefor I am going todo my best to capture it.

The first shoot I will focus on will be on Christmas day. This is the most family based holiday of the year, therefor I will photograph my Grandparents and the rest of my family, and try and capture the atmosphere of the day. This christmas will be spent at my aunties house where most of my family will spend the day.

Secondly I would like to finish my interviews. I would like to interview my grandparents together and ask them about the five main things that i then are most important in their lives; Music, Faith, Family, Jersey and Wales. O need to edit and publish these interviews and also take my favourite quotes from them which I can use in my picture book.

Thirdly I will go down to my grandparents home and photograph it with their Christmas decorations up. As well as taking photographs of both my Grandpa and Grumma I would also like to take photos of their home and their estate.

Grandma and Grandpa

I decided to interview my Grandparents as I think as well as photographing them, it is important to hear what they have to say. I was unsure of what to interview them about, so I selected 5 topics which I think are very important in their lives. These five topics are also the main areas in which I would like to associate photographing my grand parents with. The five topics are; Faith, Family, Wales, Jersey and Music.

I want to include, quotes from these interviews into my photobook, as I believe a stronger image is produced when it is alongside some dialogue.

Jersey:

Faith:

Family:

This is my favourite image of the whole shoot. I felt I framed this image well with my Grandma in-between the two candles, and with my Granddad’s elbow amongst my Grandma’s shoulders. You can instantly tell they’re both in a relationship due to their close stance, embarking emphasis to family and closeness.
