INTERIOR: Photographing the home with no people, choosing locations where I could shoot or have shot portraits, considering rooms with interest eg. space, decor, furniture, display etc
EXTERIOR: Photographing the home from the outside, considering different angles, details as well as deadpan approach.
For the Interior and Exterior portion of the ‘Home-Sweet-Home’ I have decided to not just focus on my own personal house where I live as due to schedules changing I begin to spend less of my time in my personal house. As a child I could’ve considered my Grandparents house ‘home’ as this was where I was everyday for the majority of the day. For these reasons I am going to photograph other interiors and exteriors as well as my own home now that may have a deep personal connection to me.
Mood Board:
Below shows my mood board of ideas to start off this part of the Home Sweet Home project. I personally chose these photographs because of how there I feel there is no noise coming from the photographs, they are very still and I want to try and incorporate this into my photographs.
Plan:
For this photoshoot there are specific spaces that I wish to capture, I am hoping to spot spaces or displays that I did not think of initially to photograph, however I do have a couple of initial spaces in mind:
- Living room portrait display: On my wall mounted is a large portrait of Lily Langtry of whom I am named after, this portrait has been in every house my mother has moved to so holds a significant place in our house.
- Framed England football shirt: Although seemingly tacky this shirt is signed and framed in my house and is something that significantly reminds me of my dad
- Staircase window: This is one of the only physical aspects I actually like about my house, it is the oldest part of the house dating back nearly 300 years and is the main part of the house that is Listed
- Grandparents front house: My Nan and Grandad built their house together before they married 50 years ago. Both me and my mother grew up everyday for our childhoods in that house so holds a lot of significance as a place of ‘home’
