For my Personal Investigation I intend to create a photo-book which is centered around specific people in my life and what makes them an individual, I want this to also center around the theme of youth culture. Each section of my book will be about one person and their features/interests and things that make them who they are, I want to include the stereo-typically non attractive of a young person’s being. Things like: scars, tattoos, teeth, eyes. Things that are unique to them. I also just want candid shots of their faces/bodies just doing everyday things.

Context that everything will be changing soon in our lives and the photo-book is about a brief moment in time and how we were at this age, clothes we wore, what we looked like etc, things that used to interest us.I also would like to take a multi media approach where I am going to have my photos developed and later paint and write over them in different ways which relate to my project.
