AIMS & OBJECTIVES
I aim to create a body of work to provoke feelings of nostalgia and memories of past events within my audience. I aim to produce at least 10-15 photographs that capture key aspects of both my own and other people’s childhoods, I will do this by recreating moments of the past through photos. I plan to organise each shoot that I setup to ensure that I have all of the materials that I need, for example, props and models, I also intend to use photo shop to enhance some of my photographs after I have taken them by combining layers of photos. I will use a combination of high key and low key however I will focus mainly on high key as the light setting emphasizes the innocence of the subject in the photograph. I also intend to make my project personal by using postcards of individual elements of friends and families youth and displaying these along with my photos. In my work I wish to incorporate the theme of change and continuity, for example, I could use long exposures or layers in Photoshop to show how a scene used to be compared to how it is now. As a project, I hope my work will inspire viewers to consider their fondest memories and to notice the changes or continuities since their own youth.
