In addition to this I will also re-photograph and scan old, archived family images that focus on the lives of my grandparents on my mother’s side. These will include photographs that show their socio-economic status at different times, as well as images relating to the jobs they had.

Shoot 1

This photoshoot will be focused on my grandparents only and will consist of staged portraits taken in and around the house. I will take these photographs at midday allowing natural light to be used through the windows as well as the above head home lighting, making these staged photographs feel natural also as well as homely and familiar.

Shoot 2

This photoshoot will be focused around my family on my mother’s side and will be composed of staged portraits first, with the whole family and then in different groups of generations and partners. These will be taken first inside in the living room then outside in a rural setting at golden hour.

Shoot 3

This photoshoot will be focused again on my whole family, however this time in a candid manner, consisting of photographs of Christmas day that will posses a joyous tone. These will bring a sense a sense of authenticity to the project.
