I am going to explore childhood through ‘nostalgia‘ which is a positive, wistful, or longing sentiment that one experiences when they are reminded of something from the past , I’m doing this because I used to look at my parents photo album a lot during my childhood and loved seeing the connection between my parents and how close they were with their friends and family, I would also wonder if my life would be the same as theirs if I was their age. I wish to produce a photobook with both the photos of my parents opposite to the photos I have taken, I have already started taking photos on my disposable for 2 weeks however it wasn’t a lot so I will continue to take photos during the Christmas break. I’m going to develop my project by having my disposable and digital camera with me at all times.

How I wish to take the photographs is by taking snapshots I will be doing this by randomly taking photos, how I will make this happen is by sometimes giving the cameras to my friends or family, this is because the photos taken by my parents were snapshots and weren’t planned however I will also make some staged photos. The people that will be included in the photos are my friends, family and myself. The photos will be taken as a documentary in a familiar natural environment both inside and outside as my parents varied their photos from both, the style I’m going for is a vintage aesthetic. What I might include is one or two pictures of me when I was a child with my parents or siblings the reason for this is to compare the difference from there and now and how my parents and my life have evolved since then. Underneath each photo (both archive and recent photos) will have the dates so the viewers are aware of when the time period was.
