What is the story?

The photographs in the final selection had a certain vibe. They had a theme that I’ve noticed and that theme was that the photographs captured a certain relationship between people. I wanted to present the story of different people in different places, having the same similarities as places perhaps you were in and grew up in. In wanted to show that us as humans, we all form relationships with each other, this is exactly what the objective is of this storyline. In St Malo, I realised what made the most interesting photographs for me were the ones where people showed care and love for each other. This care can look completely different depending on the type of relationship between two people, for example, the love shown between a mother and daughter may seem different than the love shown between a couple. What is very interesting is that anywhere and everywhere in the world there will always be people forming new relationships with one another. this is why I took the opportunity to go to St Malo as one where I can create a link between those in France and jersey as people show themselves feeling the same care towards one another despite living in a different region.

The pictures I plan to use that show peoples relationships:

What is also interesting is how every picture presents itself differently, when I looked back at all the pictures i saw many patterns and soon I began to realise a storyline, this storyline being relationships we experience from the first couple years of our lives. This is why I want to show photographs of parents and their kids as first couple photos in the zine. i want them to later contrast between the early teenage life, adulthood, and late life. showing the different relationships we tend to get in to and form at different stages of life. like when we are children it is usually our parents, then growing up we focus on friends rather than family, and then we get into romantic relationships.

How I plan to tell this story is by specifically focus on the placement and order of the images, starting with showing relationships, and love from a young age, then later, adulthood, etc. I want the viewer to feel like they are growing up with the book, although it is not of the same people, its a part of everyone, and everyone goes through it.
