Plans for my photoshoots

2 photoshoots before the Christmas holiday:

• I will be taking images of my family here in Jersey at our home. I want to focus specifically on my Aunt and Uncle who are the ones who offered me a place to stay when I moved over to Jersey, and I want to be able to try and portray how my relationship with them has changed since September 2018, which is when I first moved over to Jersey. I’d like to try and take images with Polaroids to try and capture the authentic effect it gives the image. Polaroids tend not to change any of the details and cannot be edited by editing programs such as Photoshop, so it captures the moment as it is, and that’s the type of effect i’d like to add to my work. If using Polaroids doesn’t turn out the way i’d like it to then i’ll switch to a normal digital camera.
• The second photo shoot I plan to take if of the family as a whole who live in my house. I currently live with my aunt and uncle and my aunt’s parents, so i’d like to photograph them all together, mainly at dinner or when sitting in the living room, as this is when we are all usually together and talking.

2 photoshoots during the Christmas holiday:

• Since all of my family is coming over and spending Christmas in Jersey, I have the opportunity to take pictures of both my family in London and my family in Jersey together in one room. I will be planning to take images during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, when everyone will be eating and spending time together. This will also capture the close relationship my family has despite living in different places. I will also try and take these images in Polaroids however if it doesn’t end up working out then I will switch to a normal digital camera.
• I will be going to London the weekend before Christmas so I have a chance to photograph my family and their lives in London to compare to my family in Jersey. I want to mainly focus on my mother and younger brothers who I lived in a house with until I moved over to Jersey at 16, and I want to photograph their life in London since I have left. I also want to focus on my Grandparents, who are also a huge influence in my life. Like my other photoshoots I plan to use Polaroids, however I will switch to a digital camera if need be.
