For the JEP Exhibition, I have chosen 5 photographs from my previous photo-shoots that tell the story about Government House. I thought that including a photograph from the archive will help support the story from decades ago about the life at Government House and the importance of the people who work there. I have chosen portraiture shots of the main people in my story, such as my dad and the Governor. I like the image of Monica drinking a glass of wine during work as it shows something that no-one else could capture if they came to government house as it is a a behind the scenes type of picture which shows a story in itself. This has helped me start to think about what my picture story is going to look like. I am going to take more personal pictures of the Governor and then big events like his annual Christmas Party.
A handful of good images from first shoot. But you must continue with making new images at least once a week over the next 6 weeks, both the ordinary and the extraordinary. Ask you dad if any specific event are scheduled next few weeks. There must be a lot going on at Xmas. Try and photograph everyone who lives there both at work and at at home in private, incl the Governor and his wife. ask your dad what it possible. Don’t worry about anyone seeing it, we are keeping it private
