Course:

Photography Year 1

I’ve learnt through this course that I enjoy taking still life photos, since I can make the photos more personal. However, I do also enjoy taking unplanned photos, like in street photography, rather than planned and staged like a still life photo.

My FMP was a still life project of my family’s old items including war medals, letters and photos. These represent the theme of Journey. I have also represented my grandma and grandad in one of these images, since they have both passed away. I used a photo of them, along with the letters which my grandma received, following my grandad's death. I have also included a book in the photo, which could represent the bible since they were both Christians. I originally wanted to do a 'cars through time' theme, however due to lockdown, I changed my idea to be a still life project.
