For this section of the project, I have chosen to photograph a series of documentary photographs using the brief 'Person X'. I have chosen to do the project on my mother, who was a dancer on television throughout the 60's and 70's. I would like to focus on her background as a dancer and the impact it has had on her life now, and how her life would be different if she was still a dancer. To create this story, I am going to use a mixture of film and digital photography to make the images have a vintage feel like the period of time that my mother was a dancer. I am also going to shoot most of my photographs in portrait to make a much more personal connection with the subject and make a emotional connection with the audience. I will stage some of my images to incorporate things such as costumes and pictures into the background of the portrait. This will connect the present day with the past, so it seems like a memory as apposed to objects that would regularly be there.
The images will be shot in colour with the possibility of some black and white shots. I am hoping to separate certain sections of the projects using single black and white shots. This will help in communicating the story behind the images with subtle photography techniques.
Also, I will shoot the majority of the images in our home, which will show the family connection with her.
I will use natural light for the photographs as I want them to look natural and not staged.
For the photographs that I am going to stage, I want to make them look staged. I want to do this by making her look at the camera as apposed to looking like a photograph is not being taken.
Some photographers that I will take inspiration from for my shoot are; Martin Parr and Gertrude Blom
