Home Sweet Home (personal investigation)

CANDID PORTRAIT: An informal portrait that presents a ‘natural’ look and capturing a moment, seemingly without artifice.

  • LOCATION: I decided to go someone elses house to take photos of their family as it was a more interesting environment and id be able to get better quality content in my images.
  • MODEL: I used my boyfriends family as there is more of them than my own and they were more available. it was interesting to get images to their family dynamic.
  • POSING: Since these were candid photos, i tried my best to get them to act as natural and normal as possible. trying to get different angles was also hard whilst trying to be subtle.
  • EDITING: These ended up being my favourite images out of all the ones I took. I felt like they truly reflected the nature of a candid photograph.  
  • EXPERIMENTING: I played around with various photos and editing them by moving the sliders to see which combinations i preferred. i wanted to go for an amateur look similar to Richard Billingham, with very contrasted images.
