For my project I want to explore family: Doing this theme matters to me because it get to show different cultures and look at how different but interesting they are. Showing what they do in there everyday lives, what they get up to when on holiday, and also what it is like to be part of a large family on special occasions like Christmas when we all meet together. Freedom/ adventures: Specific key locations in Jersey, travels around famous land marks in Madeira, and these will all be taken with friends and family to represent the freedom we have to explore the earth. As well as the cultural differences between Madeira, where my parents were born and Jersey, where I was born. By making this photoshoots happen i decided to explore Théo Gosselin, Emilie Ristevski, Ashley Kaplan and Jimmy Nelson. Theo Gosselin is a French photographer who explores the themes of life, love, his generation, his adventures, and wide-open areas; He says pictures are a true admiration to freedom, captured like a snapshot. Theo Gosselin photography is very simple no set, no staging, just allowing the moment to happen. He shows how teenage life is most of the time because in your teenage life that’s when you get to life your life and start new adventures with the people you love, his work “portfolio” is a good example of living life. In addition, Emilie Ristevski is an Australian photographer visual storyteller and author. She describes her photography style as “storytelling, Escapism, Dreamscapes”. Her work is about finding the beauty in our world and always tries to capture things that often goes unseen sharing meaningful content. Emilie Ristevski book called “Forever Wandering” is a labour of love of many years full of countless wanderings around the globe, she poured so much of herself into creating this book and never been so exited to offer a home for her photographs to be held in a tangible form. Another photographer, Ashley Kaplan is a photographer who loves to take photoshoots of people to boost their confidence and families. She tried to take as many photoshoots to show people’s story. Finally, Jimmy Nelson is a British photographer known for taking portraits of indigenous people and documentation of different cultures and traditions. Jimmy loves what he does, I know this because he said “Through the lens of my camera, I am able to share the extraordinary beauty of our world’s vanishing cultures and inspire others to celebrate and preserve their unique heritage.” Jimmy book “Jimmy Nelson Homage to Humanity” shows an immersive journey through the lives of people with different cultures around the globe. This book provides an intimate and respectful look at their traditional, customs, and environment, showing Nelsons ability to use the camera. This book also offers insight into understanding and exploring cultures.
