Personal Study- Comparison: Then and Now

In my photobook, I want to include some comparisons between then and now, including old snapshots of my grandad (and one of my mum and grandma) and newly created photographs with a similar composition and pose. I want my project to be an exploration of how much changes in time, using these photos as a juxtaposition- showing how age doesn’t necessily completely change anything. I think I produced some effective recreations which will look interesting when compared to each other side by side in my photobook. The recreated versions have not yet been edited and not all may appear in my photobook.

I attempted to have a similar composition in each photo (except the last comparison since it is more of a representational comparison) and I think I did this quite well. The process was an interesting one, and it helped me to gain more insight on how to make my project more meaningful, by portraying both time and timelessness through my photos.

One thought on “Personal Study- Comparison: Then and Now”

  1. I like how your images and photoshoots are developing. I think these set of Then & Now should have a central part in your book design, either as a beginning and end to the layout or in the middle and you build a narrative around that. Alternatively use one pairing throughout the book as a structure and produce mini-sequences around them
