A large amount of the images I took had to be labelled as ‘Unusable’. This is because my brother kept distracting my mum when I was trying to capture the photograph.

Concept/Context:

The idea behind this image was to capture my on her favourite place in the house which happened to be where she likes to read. This lead me to make the decision to have her hold up ‘The Casual Vacancy’ by J.K.Rowling, the book she is currently reading. I also wanted my mum to wear the clothes she wore to work that day. This gives a look at what kind of job she might do based on the level of formality in the outfit. It also shows that she may have not had time to get changed since arriving home.

Technical:

I took this image using an aperture of f/5.6, an ISO of 400 and a shutter speed of 1/3 seconds.
