In this page you can see a blank page with a portrait image, in this portrait image you can see me auntie and grandad cooking in the kitchen, which sets the scene in the photobook. The kitchen holds many memories so this image at the start of the book can be described as an establishing shot for the photobook. Having these images in black and white further reinforces this idea of nostalgia and memories, furthermore having people from an older generation in this image works with the images of black and white since most of their images during that time would be in black and white.
In this image you can see the pattern of alternating portraits and landscapes, since this is the next image in the photobook sequence. In this image you are able to see two sisters and one of her daughters (the middle and the right) which also shows this idea of two generations in one photo. This image has a good composition with girls in the middle and all smiling, even though this photograph was staged it gives a really authentic emotion to the image. All of the girls smiling shows the happy atmosphere during the party which connotes the idea that family can bring happiness during a big family celebration.
In this image further in the boom starts to show the second topic in the photobook, typologies with houses. This typology are photos of all the house I’ve lived in, total of 13, which later in the book will be shown in a typology grid. This singular black and white images hold lots of memories, and houses hold many memories for lots of people. You are able to feel the sense of nostalgia when looking at these images as you reminisce over the memories you hold in that particular house.
In this double page you can see a typology grid, presenting houses. These pages can be found in the middle of the book which highlights core memories. These pages are possibly the most important images within the photobook as it shows my life through houses. The placement of the images is also important as it shows a timeline of houses in the order I lived in them.
