In response to Richard Billingham I decided to document my grandparents, the main focus being my grandmother who has Alzheimer's, I wanted to show the difficulties for someone who has Alzheimer's and also the effect it has on the people around them, in this case my grandfather who looks after her. My intention was to try and capture candid moments of their everyday life to show how Alzheimer's takes away memory of people and places, by capturing the constant surprised and dazed look of my grandmother who can see me taking her photo but does no necessarily know who i am or what i'm really doing, but also everyday functions such as eating, speaking and walking, as you can see in the photos she spends most of her day lying in bed because she simply doesn't know how to do anything else anymore.
These are a few of the images that I selected from my shoot as i think they best represent my intention.
