My project is going to be based around the life at Government House. My dad is the Butler and House manager for the governor, so he will be my main character in the story. I also live on the grounds and have been privileged to meet many important people such as members from the Royal family such as the Queen. My dad has a very important because he ensures that government house runs smoothly. Manages all functions within the house and gardens, such as dinner parties and other functions. He meets and greets all visiting house guests ensuring that all requirements are made during their stay, these guests range from members from the royal family, visiting ambassadors and VIPS and also local dignitaries. As I know the Governor well, he has allowed me to get an insight into his life at government house and the staff have also allowed me access to their daily activities. I want to tell a story with my images by following my dad around taking pictures of what he does on a day-to-day basis.
