Many of the Photographs I have to look back on are from my dads side of the family. Compared to my mothers family who didn’t have a camera until my mom was in her teens, my dads family frequently took photographs of weddings and everyday life. Many of the photographs we own are in pristine condition and kept in separate family photo albums. These are some of the oldest photos in out family archives.

The photos above are of my grandad and my nan when they where young. My graded was a ‘Teddy boy’ – ‘A British subculture of young men wearing clothes partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after the Second World War’, as shown by the blazers and jumpers he wore. Almost all the final photographs below are of my dad when he was younger, so I will probably attempt to recreate them with him now that he is older. This will hopefully create contrast to two different time periods, while making direct links to the past and preset.
PHOTOSHOOT PLAN:
These will be the two photographs I will try to recreate. The first image is my grandad on a bike outside of his house, and although he isn’t able to be in the photograph anymore, I would like to recreate the image using my dad instead. The second image is a younger photograph of my dad, which I will also use my dad to recreate. Even though it won’t be in the same house as his own when he was a child, it will be the current one he lives in now.
I intend to take my photographs in-front of the doorway of my house, and the entrance to my back garden to try to recreate as closely as possible to the images.
I will also try to match the clothes as closely as possible: using a checkered shirt and black trousers for the first image, and a blue shirt with a V neck jumper for the second image.
During the photoshoot I will make sure I have a range of half body / three quarter length / full length body shots, that look similar to the images I intend to copy.
The type of light is natural daylight so the camera settings I will use are ISO 200 to take the image, an exposure time of 1/8 and a shutter speed of f/4. I will also set up a tripod to prevent camera shakes and receive a clear, focused image.
