I was inspired to create this photoshoot based on the work by Samiksha Chaudhary who created photos of objects which held meaning and memories to him and his family. I chose specific objects mainly related to my grandmother. I went through my images and selected my best images and considered which ones I am going to edit.

I selected these as my best images which I will edit.

These are all my images which I have edited in colour.

These are all my images which I have edited in black and white.

Best edits:

This is my best edit from my shoot as I like the unique angle as it creates leading lines where it draws the viewers attention deeper into the image. As the ruler extends the image becomes more blurred, this creates the idea that memories also fade as they get further away. This ruler belongs to my grandmother and is from 1966, when she was 14 years old.

This is another edit which I like as I like the close zoomed in shot with the variety of colours. I will be using this image along with some other coloured images in my photobook. This doll holds meaning to my auntie as it was a gift given to her during 1989 from a friend who visited Caketown.

This edit is of my great great grandmothers ring and is from around 1890, it now belongs to my grandmother after being passed down the generations. In the ring I managed to capture the small details of the engraved names of my great great grandmother and grandfather.

This is another edit of the ruler which I like as it is at another unique angle, I also like the colours within the image.

This image is of both my grandmothers’ ring and her grandmothers’ ring together.

Evaluation:

Overall this photoshoot was successful as I managed to photograph many old objects which hold memories and meaning to my family members. If I was to improve next time I would use a different camera as the one I used did not allow me to zoom in much.
