Ian going to do a family shoot, using my idea of “The box”. I have done a previous post on this idea explaining how jam going to conduct the shoot –

“For my Family study i have decided on an idea called ‘The Box’, This idea comes from a ‘special box’ that i was given when i was born. My sister was also given an identical one also. Throughout our lives, my mother has collected things from our childhood that have been of significant memory and has put them in the box. These things range from baby scans of us inside my mother, hospital bands from he day we were born, our first shoes, presents we were given as children and much much more. These objects in these boxes have become very special to us, and are restricted and hidden in chosen places in our bedrooms. My parents, imparticularlly my mother doesn’t like anyone who is not family looking at these boxes, I’m unsure of the reason why but i assume privacy reasons. I would like to study thing as my “Family” area of work as i feel firstly it is a very family related idea and very few people could tell this story as all of the objects in the box have sentimental value and memories related to them that nobody would understand apart from me.”

Iam borrowing a camera from school and taking the photographs with that camera so the quality is better than previous photos that were taken on a disposable.

To try an create the image i have in my head jam going to borrow some pieces of black card, to create a mini studio to place the objects on and take pictures. Ian hoping the images will turn out similar to the set up that Phillip Toledano used for his project ‘when i was six’. His project is what inspired my shoot and his setup is also something i would like to recreate as i felt it set the tone and mood for the shoots very well with contrasting lighting.
