EXPLORING THE THEME OF FAMILY

For my first shoot i think that i will photograph my aunt. She has recently given birth to a baby boy and i think that it will be interesting to photograph how her life has changed since she has had him. For these images i will photograph the everyday mundane life that they lead, but i will also try to capture special moments between the husband and wife. For these photographs technically i am photographing from an insiders perspective as it is part of my family, but i see this as an outsiders perspective into their family life. In the previous AS task i photographed my aunt and her husband while she was pregnant to capture life before the baby. Although these images were set up and they were not of everyday life, they were stylized images.  colour balance Sunset GridI placed these images together to make a sort of story board of what happened this night. I think that these images show a very idealistic life that does not show what happens behind closed doors. I think that it will be interesting to photograph my auntie because i do not know what happens behind closed doors either and i think documenting their life will help me get closer to my family.

In these set of images i will try to go once a week to photograph them in their home and outside of their home. I will also try to take images of my auntie in her work place, as she is the manager of Macmillan Jersey and it would be good to photograph her in her work place. For these images i will also try to recreate these photographs but with her new little boy in them.
