For one of my photo shoots I took images of my family members and friends, from both London and Jersey, over the course of a few days. It was conducted over the Christmas holiday in Jersey while my family gathered to celebrate Christmas. These photo shoots were based off of the photographers Walker Evans and Latoya Ruby Frazier, who both took images of families for their series. For my photos I aimed to take images of as many of my family members as possible when they visited Jersey for the Christmas holidays.

Analysis image :

In this black and white image you can see a boy, my brother, being shown something on a phone by someone out of the picture. Since the background around him has been blurred slightly, you are able to easily focus on his face without being distracted by the environment around him.

This image was taken when my family from London came over to Jersey for the Christmas holiday. The boy in the image is my brother and this was when my family and I went out for dinner the night before they left to go back to London. This image is a response to one of the photographers I will be looking at in my essay, Latoya Ruby Frazier, who is a photographer who took images of her family within their home when there was an economic crisis happening in their town of Braddock, Pennsylvania.
