For my project, I wanted to explore the relationship between my grandparents in the years before my grandmother passed. I think it is important to look back at the past instead of just focussing on the present, which is why I looked into the achieves my grandad still stores in his home in Jawor, Poland. The pictures of my grandparents show many different emotions, not just happiness like typical family snapshots tend to. I noticed that many of the pictures were taken in natural places, outside, which inspired me for my photoshoots.
->Karpacz, Summer. the year 1970The way my grandparents look very serious in their individual photos contrasts with the way they look in their picture together, which I find very interesting. The individual pictures were years after their photo together.->Gosia’s full smile with mummyDespite this project being about my grandparents, I wanted to include this photograph of my mum and grandma. The happiness on both their faces shows the happy times they had together, before my grandma’s passing, when my mum was just 16 years old.
