Who

My dad’s side of the family who live in Madeira, as well as my immediate family.

What

I want to take photographs of familiar landscapes from trips when I was younger, like family homes for example. I’ll also capture pictures of family, street photography, environmental portraits, etc in a documentary-type style.

Where

I’ll be staying at my grandparents’ house in Câmara de Lobos, Madeira as well as exploring other areas of Madeira.

When

Over the Christmas holidays.

How

I will be borrowing a camera from school, so that I can successfully capture some good-quality photographs during my trip.

Why

I want to gather a collection of meaningful photographs while in Madeira for my personal study. My focus is around my childhood and upbringing, while also acknowledging my heritage. I want to do this as I believe this will communicate a sense of self and allow me to explore and piece together aspects of my ancestry unfamiliar to me.
