Initial ideas:

Environments:

Subject/s: I intend to take photos of my family members.

Environments: Each person will be photographed within an environment that connects to them. E.g:
– Father: will be photographed in his car workshop.
– Mum: will be photographed in her vegetable garden.
– Sister: Will be photographed in her workplace laboratory.
– Cousin: Will be photographed at the rowing club
– Cousin 2: Will be photographed in her band
– Uncle: Will be photographed on his farm

Poses: I intend for the poses to be quite neutral, as if the subject has just paused while in their natural environment.

Gaze: I intend for the subjects to make eye contact with the camera to connect with the viewers more. However, I will also experiment with various different gazes.

Composition: I intend to experiment with various compositions, including central framing and the rule of thirds.

Framing
I will experiment with full body, 1/2 and 3/4 headshots. I will avoid a tighter crop, to ensure that more of the environment is visible.

Orientation:

I intend for most of my portraits to be landscape to show more of the environment.

Aperture.
I will experiment with a small / medium aperture to create a long and medium depth of field. This will allow the background to be recognisable and connect people with the environment more.
